I was expecting something like @fer0n@lemm.ee, but I don’t think that works. At least for me it’s only recognised as an email address. lemm.ee/u/fer0n maybe? Does that notify the user?
Funnily enough @fer0n@lemm.ee does seem to work in the Liftoff app, but I guess there maybe isn’t a standard yet. 😃
That actually showed up in my mentions, I guess I just can’t mention myself. Thanks :)
Shows up as a link on mlem, but it takes me to Mail 🥹
I’ve just tried it, it works in Jerboa too
This is an area of very much needed improvement.
For users, you should use the completion popup. When you type an @ followed by a name it will suggest users matching that, and if you click on one it will fill out a mention with the link to their origin page.
Give it a shot, try mentioning me in a reply!
The issue with this is the link isn’t portable, meaning it may get you out of your home instance. The best way to link any user or community is to do
/u/name.tld(for users;/c/for communities) instead ofhttps://origininstance.tld/u/name. That way the link is relative (so no issue of moving away from your home) and it’s fully qualified (so no issue with name clashes between instances).Ah I see it now. Maybe an ad blocker got in the way because that’s the first thing I tried. Can you try /u/fer0n@lemm.ee? I‘d like to see if that shows up in my mentions
It rendered as a link for me, because I’m on 0.18.1 already (RC). Mobile apps might not support it yet.
Its actually trough a pop-up that I’ve only seen working on the instance website itself (idk how it is usually called) It creates a thing that that looks like this on the final message: @fer0n@lemm.ee
Yes, that also shows up in mine. I think that’s simply a markdown link to my profile “[@fer0n@lemm.ee]” directly followed by “(https://lemm.ee/u/fer0n)”: @fer0n@lemm.ee
This works, but that should definitely be built-in regardless of client.

Does this show up in your mentions? heartlessevil@lemmy.one (markdown link with the actual website link behind it). @fer0n@lemm.ee shows up in mine even though it’s not highlighted or clickable for me

Ah I forgot the @. This should show up: @heartlessevil@lemmy.one

Maybe this https://lemm.ee/u/fer0n
This works too
It’s tappable, but it doesn’t show up in mentions. This does however, even though it’s not tappable: @Jaxia@toast.ooo
So for now the correct answer seems to be that with the actual link combined
Or !fer0n@lemm.ee although that’s for communities isn’t it?
This works
