When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links....
I think Lemmy uses ! for instances because @ is used for users - e.g. I expect that @floppy will automatically link to your profile on your instance (and link to your profile on any other viewer’s instance - e.g. for me it should link to an aussie.zone URL).
It’s probably a design decision to differentiate communities from users.
