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.

OK, interesting. There are multiple ways apparently.

If you start typing @user then you'll get a dropdown box,

If one uses the web-interface. But who uses the web-interface. It's slow and clunky. A client is much faster.

Depends on your instance. Over at lemm.ee, the web version is arguably better than Jerboa, for example. However our lead admin sets things up just so, and includes various mods he made and pushes into the main code stack.

Also, I'm not sure if the instance agnostic links give you a mention. The devs really need to tie all this together, with mentions for the agnostic links, and auto-generated links with @user@instance so you don't have to type out the full link code.

Plot twist: Both your client and the website use web interfaces. The difference is the client uses Electron Chrome instead of Firefox/chrome browser.
