Why when I mention users with @, it don't generate mention in metadata, and said usertags aren't clickable. Like in Mastodon.

For example: @winnie @winnie@lemmy.m

For example here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/405208

Is it intended, or not yet implemented?

  1. When you type @winnie - a box pops up, listing all users who match that name.

  2. Then you click the one you want and it creates the user-link for you.

It will look like this (because user-links are markdown links):

[@winnie@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/winnie)

automatically becomes this:

@winnie@lemmy.ml

(It works on desktop and mobile)

I don't have this working in jerboa, but in lemmy-ui it does work correctly.

Hello, @dessalines@lemmy.ml.

I've tried to mention myself from mastodon, but as result message wasn't federated and delivered. At this comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/405537

Would it be appropriate to create feature request on github, to send notifications to federated instances on mentions?

And also would people from lemmy receive notifications, like in this case https://lemmy.ml/comment/405208 ? Can't test because I have only one account. But I assume they won't, the same way as it wasn't delivered to Mastodon.

My use-case is that there were two neighboring threads of replies, and I wanted to both participant to be notified, but not to create two separate comments under two different messages.

Asking you as you are one of maintainers of Lemmy.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

You can open up a github issue so we can investigate.

Oh. Turns out I had to wait.

But would it notify people? as in Mastodon.

Coz it looks as just markdown.
