Does lemmy.world accept cross-post from pixelfed? (lemmy.world)

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

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

[–] Crul@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

(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.

Looks like it, thanks for sharing!

[–] windie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Correct. That's the post.

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

[–] Crul@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

I mean if on Pixelfed you @pics@lemmy.world, what happens if there's a user with that name. Does it post to the community or send a message to the user somehow?

On lemmy communities start with ! while users start with @ .. but it looks like you used @ to reference the community

[–] Crul@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think you are right, but here it is where my knowledge falls short and why I didn't write @pics@lemmy.world or !pics@lemmy.world. I think those would be user and community respectively.

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

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