Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? (self.fediverse)

matrix is #room:matrix.org and @username:matrix.org

why does lemmy use [email protected] or @[email protected] ? it looks like email.

              #room:matrix.org this one won't be possible. # is used for tags/hashtags in mastodon, one of the largest fediverse software. Currently only mbin and piefed support tags. PieFed will work on mastodon's support when API work is over. So the # may create problem later.
@user@server why not ? We use email example to explain federation. But we could change with @ to : because we use @ for mention in lot software. :)
