If a Lemmy user has the same name as a community, how can I tag the community on Mastodon?

I also posted this question in another comment thread, but is there no way for an app to say "give me communities only" or "give me users only" when calling the webfinger lookup thingy? Because if there is, then Mastodon devs could update the behavior on their side to depend on whether the name starts with @ or ! (the same way Lemmy apps do).
Nope, it's just a.single route, no filters or qualifiers I am aware of.
One could go through the returned accounts and see which are users and which are groups, although that's expensive and time consuming to do.

Isn't that basically a Piefed topic?

So if I understand you, Lemmy would benefit from a grouping above /c that’s not instance related? Like Usenet had the rec.cats group which spawned rec.cats.siamese? So maybe a /u universe? If I wanted to read about television I could go to u/television which could merge feeds of c/television@piefed.social and c/television@lemmy.world and any other c/television@_._? I could see possibilities of abuse but we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Maybe a /u could be an opt in thing with a manager of some kind to prevent unrelated /c’s from randomly joining.

I'm talking to you from it right now 🤨

You'll find more of what you like too

It's global trending. Which I find unfortunate, because it basically defeats a purpose of thematic servers. For example I'm on Polish server, full of people taking in Polish, but I see only global trends which are not at all in Polish 🫤

it doesn't look like it's federated.. let alone linked to mastodon?

@ntn888@lemmy.ml yep, it's a forum you can self host.

Or join activitypub.space (but that one is geared toward fediverse developers)

I searched for nodebb.. it is just forum hosting?
