On Reddit, it’s possible to tag a user bij adding a u/ before the username of some account.

Is that possible on Lemmy?

Edit: thanks everybody! These worked.

    I appreciate you taking the time to explain all this, I guess there must be different ways of doing this, but your comment has confused me a little bit, maybe it’s just a little too early in the morning here for me. I’ll read it again later, and maybe get a better understanding. Although, I’m not sure what drop down box/popup window you’re referring to. I’m not using the web browser, I’m using the Jerboa app, so I didn’t get a drop down box or popup window when I started typing.
    The OP just asked about how to tag a user, and using the @ symbol worked, the OP got their mention notification.

      Yeah I kind of realised after my 4th or 5th comment what OP was actually talking about lol. In any case, the link functions are still in need of some development - I’m not sure that the agnostic links give mentions, meanwhile the @ link should also be agnostic. Hopefully they’ll also make the @ link auto-generate, without having to fully type out a manual link code.
