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

SOLUTION: https://kbin.social/m/Help/t/211339/how-do-i-tag-link-to-a-magazine-properly#entry-comment-884860 / https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199 kinda broken atm)

      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 (would work if i would be on fedia and others)
      !Help <- fedia (kbin based) !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.

    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.

          @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 :)
