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 :)

On Lemmy we have the syntax !AskKbin@kbin.social ([!AskKbin@kbin.social](/c/AskKbin@kbin.social)), does it work on Kbin as well?

@rikudou

yes, that's what i pointed to at the bottom with the Solution, sadly it's broken atm
i only can mention a magazine that's on another kbin based instance, while for me it also turns into a mention, they see it as a link, vice versa.
if i mention a magazine that's on the kbin instance where i am.. well it also turns into a short mention that doesn't link to anything "class="mention mention--unresolvable""

there let me show
!AskKbin <- kbin [!AskKbin@kbin.social](/c/AskKbin@kbin.social) (would work if i would be on fedia and others)
!Help <- fedia (kbin based) [!Help@fedia.io](/c/Help@fedia.io) (wouldn't work if i'm on fedia)

EDIT: nice, on lemmy it doesn't show a full link :)

Well, that's confusing for sure. Hopefully it gets fixed, IMO a common link format for all Threadiverse is very much needed.
