Well I went ahead and did a mastadon. No clue what I am doing, but.. Woohoo?
I'm chamrsdeluxe@mastadon.social there too I guess. Idk
You'd want to include your instance as part of your handle. I know, it's not as intuitive as a centralized service, but it is a requirement, especially when sharing the name elsewhere. So, your Lemmy account is chamrsdeluxe@lemmy.world. Folks on lemmy.world don't need that, but folks on another instance (like me) would. I can get it from clicking your username, but there's no way to figure it out for a different platform from here.
If I'm reading this right there are two ways to indicate a user including its instance:
/u/username@example.com@username@example.comWhich one is the recommended one?
That's all well and good, but I was telling them to include the instance for their mastodon handle, which they've gone back and edited to include it now.
Yes, but this doesn't have anything to do with mastodon which was my point. You need to include the instance in your mastodon handle. Which I see you've gone back and edited now, but that was my whole point. I didn't need a lesson on something I literally just demonstrated I know about.
Followed!
