matrix is #room:matrix.org and @username:matrix.org

why does lemmy use !room@sh.itjust.works or @username@sh.itjust.works ? it looks like email.

i like the matrix version better

    It looks like it’s a Webfinger implementation to parse the ActivityPub user URI. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35750312

    The @user@instance.tld format has become a convention across most if not all ActivityPub platforms. In the end the software will look up https://instance.tld/user anyway.
