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

    Nah, Gmail does the exact opposite of what their server does. Gmail is extra lenient with how an address may look. While their server is extra strict.

      Correct. Gmail is doing it right, by anticipating how their server’s behavior might confuse people or lead to email going to the wrong mailbox, and making extra complexity to make sure the behavior makes sense. Lemmy is doing it wrong, in this instance.
