hello,
i do use
@ magazine @ kbin.social (does work),
while @m/magazine | m/magazine doesn't work.
but if a user with this @ exist in the fediverse, it does try to link to the user instead of the magazine?
here an example: @lain
another way would to be simply [link] but isn't there a easier way?
is there a post/site where things like this are clarified? didn't found one yet.
ofc if this is possible somehow.. i don't think what i do is intended for magazines
SOLUTION: https://kbin.social/m/Help/t/211339/how-do-i-tag-link-to-a-magazine-properly#entry-comment-884860 / https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199 kinda broken atm)

On Lemmy we have the syntax !AskKbin@kbin.social (
!AskKbin@kbin.social), does it work on Kbin as well?ReiWasHere@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
@rikudou
yes, that's what i pointed to at the bottom with the Solution, sadly it's broken atm
i only can mention a magazine that's on another kbin based instance, while for me it also turns into a mention, they see it as a link, vice versa.
if i mention a magazine that's on the kbin instance where i am.. well it also turns into a short mention that doesn't link to anything "class="mention mention--unresolvable""
there let me show
!AskKbin <- kbin
!AskKbin@kbin.social(would work if i would be on fedia and others)!Help <- fedia (kbin based)
!Help@fedia.io(wouldn't work if i'm on fedia)EDIT: nice, on lemmy it doesn't show a full link :)

Well, that's confusing for sure. Hopefully it gets fixed, IMO a common link format for all Threadiverse is very much needed.

The first method is what everyone usees for kbin magazines. I've never seen where it's clarified, though. I would bet you can't pick a username on an instance where a magazine has that name.

@Ragnell
well but it seems it is the case for the user "lain" that is on another instance :(
it is really weird.. like my example shows, it links to a user and not a magazine.

@gaming -- but it also works for the magazine. they must both use the same function.

@Ragnell
when i do reply it does the same with your name, while magazines also have the "@kbin.social tag"
so what i think /kbin does is (as you said same function), user first, magazine second.. that's why i also said "ofc if this is possible somehow.. i don't think what i do is intended for magazines" on the bottom :)
