Posts not appearing in communities when other group actors are mentioned.

Tried making a post (link below) to a lemmy community while also mentioning two other groups. My post never appeared in the Lemmy community.
This seems like a bug, when I tried posting to two lemmy communities at once the first went through, the second did not.

Does anyone know what's up with this?

FWIW: that post is not for 2 communities - it's for one community (/c/test at sh.itjust.works) and one user (/u/test at lemmy.ml) - I'm guessing that it's autocompleted to a thing that was different from your intentions.

(edit: the webfinger response from lemmy.ml for 'test' returns both a Person and a Group, which Lemmy can deal with, but Mastodon probably can't, so it just grabbed the first one it saw)

@andrew_s Ok that makes more sense but I do know I've tried it other times when there was no user and it posted to one community but not the other.
