what I did was just writing [!fediverse@lemmy.ml](/c/fediverse@lemmy.ml) at the beginning of my post. Note that I am following the community with this Nerdica account, maybe that's a requirement.

Got inspired and tested it out from Mastodon, since we don't use the !-group function here I can't trigger the right type of post.

For now, Mastodon users can subscribe to communities and Lemmy users, comment on existing posts but never post from home server. Oh well. 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried with @fediverse@lemmy.ml? I vaguely seem to remember this was mentioned in a recent release, but don't remember very well, and haven't tried from Mastodon since then.

Yes, both as a mention and a DM. You're talking about Lemmy release notes, right?

Yes, but I got confused. What I had in mind was in the 0.16.0 release :

Mastodon can now display communities even when a user with identical name exists (but the user can’t be viewed in that case).

Sorry about the confusion ! Maybe that will improve soon as they have been working a lot on federation improvements recently.
