It's a very cool feature when used correctly but I do agree it needs work to avoid the accidental mentions. It's all too easy to tag the wrong group even if you do know there's a difference, and most people don't.
That said it's not the end of the world, and it's fun blowing people's minds by telling them hello from Lemmy, so there's a silver lining 😄
Agree, it's fun most of the times!
You still can’t actually find hashtags embedded in here via Mastodon though right? Just curious.
I do agree the implementation isn’t quite the best when it comes to cross posting or following stuff between the different platforms.
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
