Research direction

No file, test, or implementation entry point is named. First resolve whether the service identifies the platform, the specific server, or the generic Fediverse naming scheme, including whether the server may be omitted from the handle. Done means reaching an agreed namespace representation suitable for the package.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Fediverse platforms all use the same form to identify users (@username@server). Should the service in this case identify the platform (e.g. Mastodon vs Pleroma vs Akkoma vs PixelFed or whatever), the specific server (e.g. mas.to vs pixelfed.social or whatever, in which case the username/handle could omit the server part), or something else that identifies the generic naming scheme?
