How does one tag another user in a comment? (feddit.nl)

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.

If you use /u/ instead of the dropdown box you get an instance agnostic link. eg /u/[email protected]

You're in lemmy.zip, so the link you see will be https://lemmy.zip/u/[email protected], which keeps you in your own instance so that you can message them, etc.

Just typing @[email protected] without selecting from the dropdown box does not create a link.

As far as I know using /u/[email protected] doesn't ping.

Yeah they need to tie it all together. Dropdown box links should be instance agnostic, typing @user@instance should create a link, and all user links should ping.
