how do i tag / link to a magazine properly?

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.

  • On Lemmy we have the syntax !AskKbin@kbin.social (!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
      !Help - fedia (kbin based)

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