From mastodon to follow an account or a community on lemmy you use the @name@server format and there is no difference between a community name and a user-name

so i was wondering if anyone tried and checked what happened

      I don’t follow… Lemmy and Mastodon both require port 443, so a single hostname of lemmy.ml can’t run both. Lemmy and Mastodon handle users the same way, just Mastodon doesn’t have !communities.

          Ohhhh. My understanding is initial @ in Mastodon is only required for users, and would default to user over community, while leaving off the initial @ would do community. I have not validated that in the source, though.
