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.

Thanks, /u/tweak@lemm.ee

Edit: I don't see a link when using this method on Voyager or Jerboa, whereas @TWeaK@lemm.ee does work. It seems Lemmy apps don't support your way of doing it yet.

Edit: I don’t see a link when using Yoyager. Perhaps some clients don’t support this?

Could be. It's all new here innit.

I'm also not sure that the /u/ link generates a mention. Or if Lemmy even has mentions that alert the user, rather than just replies.

I think the @user@instance tag does. If you check your inbox under mentions, you should see a notification for that but not for /u/user@instance.

Yeah, really they should all function the same way. /u/ should give a mention, and typing @user@instance should automatically create a link - without the dropdown box or full link code.
