I tagged a lemmy.world community in one of my pixelfed posts and nothing happened.

This is my question too. I’m not really interested in adding mastodon, etc. Posts to my feed, but I do want to see more pictures and I hoping someone can explain how to add pixelfed content to lemmy subscriptions/feed.

Apparently it depends on the community? I just tagged “@pics@lemmy.world” and it worked. My first try was with c/cats and it didn’t work.

Can you link the post? I’m curious to see how that looks on Lemmy

(not OP)

Probably this one https://lemmy.world/post/2653518

It’s the only one posted to c/pics from pixelfed.social in the last hour.

What happens if someone creates a user with the same name as the community?

Not an expert, those who know more, please correct me.

I think all name disambiguation is made by adding the instance name after. So if someone has the user pics in pixelfed.social, it would be pics@pixelfed.social, while the lemmy.world community would be pics@lemmy.world.

As /c/cats and /u/cats both exist, this is easy to test.

Here’s the post - Lemmy seems to prioritize the community.
