I like the simplicity of #@ as well, but it's understandable you'd be reticent to use it when better context about tag usage could be in its place. It's also harder to see, click, understand, and so on.

The line of links reads almost as a continuous string of characters, which isn't helping the repetition issue. Maybe keep the spacing but remove the dots (" ยท ")? Or break the repetition with a new line for the personal and community tags? #@username ? #this.username (where this is literally the word "this")?

I'm not sure I really like anything I've proposed, because each solution has some obvious drawbacks. Moving the personal tag up next to the username might add context.

    Moving the personal tag up next to the username might add context.

We actually tried that as well, and it didn't feel like an improvement.

But, like insom said, we are more than happy to hear suggestions. I am sure a better approach is possible.
