How do you mention a user on Lemmy?
Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?
You're viewing a single thread.
Far as I understand, there isn't a way to do that. Federated usernames work essentially like an email address because of the decentralized nature of the service. If I type
sparky@lemmy.federate.ccit won't send you a notification, but it will link your profile.At least I think that's how it works. Who wants to jump in and point out all the ways I'm wrong?
Not saying you are wrong, since it is currently imposible to do here, but I don't think the federated nature of usernames has anything yo do with if they receive a notification or bot since over at mastodon you can tag people properly and they are notified.
Fair point and now that I think about it that seems odd to me since both services can communicate with each other.
@beefbaby182@lemmy.world did that work
Why, yes, I do believe that worked.

I have definitely received a mention notification on Jerboa when someone mentioned me like that.
*crickets* Nope. Not wrong.
