what happens when user and community have the same name (slrpnk.net)

From mastodon to follow an account or a community on lemmy you use the @name@server format and there is no difference between a community name and a user-name

so i was wondering if anyone tried and checked what happened

You’re putting the instance name ("@lemmy.world") in the search term, which is why the searches are failing. If you already know the user or community you’re looking for, then why would you be searching for it? You already have it!
