The users using usernames instead of hashtags are confusing to me anyway. Like the rest of the time are they just tagging random users in all their posts?
They're probably trying to mention @Firefox@mozilla.social but there's no such account on that server.
On my server, if I type "@Firefox" it pops up this community as a suggestion
Lemmy communities show up as people on Mastodon, that's why. The hashtags won't reach Lemmy.
Yes, but they aren’t trying to post to Lemmy they’re just tagging random accounts.
