Is it possible to mention users in a comment? (lemm.ee)

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?

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.
