hello,
i do use

@ magazine @ kbin.social (does work),
while @m/magazine | m/magazine doesn't work.

but if a user with this @ exist in the fediverse, it does try to link to the user instead of the magazine?

here an example: @lain

another way would to be simply [link] but isn't there a easier way?

is there a post/site where things like this are clarified? didn't found one yet.

ofc if this is possible somehow.. i don't think what i do is intended for magazines

The first method is what everyone usees for kbin magazines. I've never seen where it's clarified, though. I would bet you can't pick a username on an instance where a magazine has that name.

@Ragnell
well but it seems it is the case for the user "lain" that is on another instance :(

it is really weird.. like my example shows, it links to a user and not a magazine.

@gaming -- but it also works for the magazine. they must both use the same function.

@Ragnell

when i do reply it does the same with your name, while magazines also have the "@kbin.social tag"

so what i think /kbin does is (as you said same function), user first, magazine second.. that's why i also said "ofc if this is possible somehow.. i don't think what i do is intended for magazines" on the bottom :)
