It’s not just the @ symbols. It’s the fact that both are federated systems. Lemmy is federated because a user of aussie.zone can interact with a user of lemmy.world.
Email is federated because a user of gmail.com can interact with a user of outlook.com.
It’s about the fact that they each work on an open standard and anyone who implements that standard can communicate with anyone else who also does.
