FYI, the @ doesn't make a link unless you select it from the dropdown box, or actually type out some link code eg [link text](@user@instance). This link will also take you to their instance, away from the instance you're logged into.

To automatically generate an instance agnostic link you need to use /u/user@instance, so /u/USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website. However, this won't create a mention to their inbox, you can only do a mention with the link code.

Disclaimer: all this behaviour I'm describing is the core lemmy website behaviour, apps may have their own quarks.

Isn't u/ a reddit thing @TWeaK@lemm.ee

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 1 points 1 year ago

/u is the same on lemmy, /r is what changes to /c

I don't believe it is as I haven't seen any documentation say that

Just go to a community and look at the URL, then do the same with a user

~~That is only true for the url~~

~~Anytime I've gotten a mention it has always been @x4740N@lemmy.world~~

~~I'd mention you as @Xusontha@is.buckodr.ink~~

~~And again the lemmy documentation doesn't mention u/~~

Edit: never mind I just realised I misread your initial comment and went on from that initial misreading

Sorry about that

Ah, good ol quirky Lemmy stuff. I fixed it (I think), but I also spent 30 minutes trying (unsuccessfully) to post an animated gif so who knows

Good stuff! Only question is whether they got a mention for your edit hah.
