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

I was expecting something like @[email protected], 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?

This works too

It’s tappable, but it doesn’t show up in mentions. This does however, even though it’s not tappable: @[email protected]

So for now the correct answer seems to be that with the actual link combined

Or [email protected] although that's for communities isn't it?

You are correct !name is only for communities
