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.

I also found this early discussion helpfull

Solution

Introduce a special format for instance agnostic links (called Lemmy links) that will be opened in the current instance:
for posts: #[email protected]
for users: @[email protected]
for communities: [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
for comments: ~[email protected]

This will open page at https:///post/1, https://lemmy.world/u/ruud, https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected], https://lemmy.world/comment/1 respectively. It will not break existing links functionality as direct HTTP links are still supported.

Bookmark the resource link (or mark this comment as saved on lemmy) for future reference
