I want to know if your username is used across the entire mastodon instances or it is reserved only for your local instance...

@guillen your username is @guillen; that's unique, and will mention you/fire a notification on any federated server. But the first part of it can be reused on different servers. Think of it as an email address with an at sign before it.

@r4v5 ok that's clear to me, thanks

@guillen lol, I forgot the UI hides the domain if we're on the same server. "Your username is @guillen at sign octodon dot social"

guillen @guillen

@r4v5 I got it, there are many things to explore and learn.
