I get that they probably meant to do a # instead of a @, but that mistake leading to a post on a Lemmy community is just bizarre behavior... their "@" didn't even include an instance. This kind of integration across Fediverse platforms is so janky, and my hot take is that it shouldn't exist.

If their instance "at's" something, it's (to my understanding) part of their instances programming to post to a community if it exists.

Since a reddit exodus came to .world years ago, a bunch of empty ghost communities exist, so that's why they always land here.

I think there needs to be a clear divide between the two types, for instances that want to do both, have a toggle for how your post should be sent out to the fediverse.

Wow, what a ridiculous dev-brain design. "If the strings match, dump the content into the community. Whatever instance, who cares?" Communities have rules, norms… and at least in theory, culture.

If I remember correctly it's baked into the main fork everyone uses, it's not like OPs instance decided to do this, I'm not even sure they can turn it off

But I think it all comes down to whoever made the moan code, not anticipating people would "at someone" as a phrase and not really be wanting to "@ them". Linguistically it's cool and all, I just want them to stop the crossposts now that people are using it without intending it literally

I appreciate you explaining this. Finding out it's standard Mastodon behavior makes it even worse, lol.

The term "Fediverse" makes people think there's some true integration across these services when really it's a subset of features that may partially work in some cases, some of the time. Widespread ActivityPub is probably great for developers, but I can't see what it gets users aside from confusion.
