Just wondering why the ! symbol is used to mark a community here on Lemmy, but not #, + or something else? Was there any discussion and mentioned reasons? Thanks in advance.

    Ah, I can remember that on Friendica. I see the point, the # symbol is for tags, so groups require something else. So then the Matrix approach with # for group chats and + for spaces therefore lacks a symbol for tags should they require one. I think group reposting bots are a temporary solution anyway.
