This is a really simple question of preference, but when tagging:
For communities, are you more partial to !community
or /c/community
?
For usernames, do you like @user
or /u/user
more?
For me, I prefer the former (! and @) because it feels quicker to write them that way and it helps me create mental separation between the Beehaw/Lemmy way vs. the Reddit way. Also, when linking, I like the more instance-agnostic link styles [!community](/c/community@instance.com)
or [@user](/u/user@instance.com)
, even though it takes a bit of effort to write.
I have little preference.
!
and@
are definitely faster, but having been a heavy Reddit user for more than a decade, the/c/
and/u/
signifiers are definitely closer to my pre-existing habits.
