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

We can try it out since there is both @lemmy@lemmy.ml and !lemmy@lemmy.ml

When I searched for lemmy@lemmy.ml on Mastodon (specifically masto.ai), I got the community, not the user. Not sure why, but that's what I got.
