@user works on all fediverse platforms, but !community does not
i was proposing for this to be a possible solution to make it work across all existing platforms w/o requiring all the other platforms to support lemmy's system
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed @sc07@group.toast.ooo on mastodon it would for sure follow !sc07@toast.ooo and not @sc07@toast.ooo (an account with the same identifier)
how I was thinking about it the instance owners would pick the subdomain the communities would be placed on, everything would still route through the main host but external interactions (like following a community) would be routed through the subdomain
eg for blahaj.zone's lemmy instance it could be setup as users sending in @lemmy.blahaj.zone and communities ending in @group.lemmy.blahaj.zone or something like that
Everything was rebooting, it should work now 👍
