ok so this is a follow-up on my previous post [is this a bug?] how do i see lemmy content from mastodon

i might have been stupid.

i tried following the !shitpost@lemmy.world community from mastodon and it didn't show any posts or comments there.

i pasted the wrong link. the actually correct link is to follow the @lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world account from mastodon. then it works!

sorry for the confusion

It’s been a while since I ran into that issue and it’s rare to have a collision, but if I started a basxto community, @basxto@discuss.tchncs.de can only map to one. The absolute URLs are meaningless, since @ syntax is supposed to point to something on the current instance. Other URLs I have put into the search field of lemmy/mastodon to convert

For example see @test@discuss.tchncs.de and !test@discuss.tchncs.de

Nice, both link the community here. !-syntax doesn’t do anything on mastodon

If somebody responds to the test account on mastodon, they’ll probably accidentally link the community
