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

What formats are the same? Users are /u and @ while communities are /c and !. No overlap to check for. Mastodon is where the confusion comes in.
