It’s confusing for new users, and this instance in particular has 7k users but no interactions. It’s a bot army, with the top user being called @admin.

Extremely shady and misleading.

      Interesting, so a bare “@admin” will link to whatever user has that name on your local instance? That should probably be a bug, I could type “@falafel” or whatever and end up linking to completely different people based on whatever instance someone happens to be reading from. Maybe giving all those people mention notifications, too.

        I’m actually working on the problem now. It’s a tricky one to solve. There’s no context about who that user is, like at all. So we either don’t link any users. Or do a best effort.
