For example, !lemmy starts with an !, but why not start with a # symbol?

    I explained that hashtags use the pound symbol already, and usernames use the @ symbol. Communities needed their own symbol.

      Okay, but how does a hashtag work? Can you give an example of a hashtagged word where Lemmy uses a hashtag?
