how do i tag / link to a magazine properly?

On Lemmy we have the syntax !AskKbin ([email protected]), does it work on Kbin as well?

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 [email protected] (would work if i would be on fedia and others)
https://kbin.social/[email protected] <- fedia (kbin based) [email protected] (wouldn't work if i'm on fedia)

EDIT: nice, on lemmy it doesn't show a full link :)

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

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.

well but it seems it is the case for the user "lain" that is on another instance :(

it is really weird.. like my example shows, it links to a user and not a magazine.

@gaming -- but it also works for the magazine. they must both use the same function.

when i do reply it does the same with your name, while magazines also have the "@kbin.social tag"

so what i think /kbin does is (as you said same function), user first, magazine second.. that's why i also said "ofc if this is possible somehow.. i don't think what i do is intended for magazines" on the bottom :)
