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

We can try it out since there is both @[email protected] and [email protected]

When I searched for [email protected] on Mastodon (specifically masto.ai), I got the community, not the user. Not sure why, but that's what I got.
