Datsourdo@kbin.socialtoLemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do communities start with an exclamation mark instead of a hashtag?

1 year agoI’m on kbin, and to sub to a community on a lemmy instance, I have to replace the ! with a @, because that’s the actual underlying name, it seems. It’s a bit confusing.
I think it’s because of the server overload some instances have been suffering. It might be affecting sync between instances in addition to the timeouts for user interaction.
