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?

I don't think auto linking is implemented for users like it is for communities. Compare @[email protected] with [email protected].

In the notifications page at /inbox there's a tab for Mentions but I don't know what is considered a mention given there are many different ways to link to a user page.

edited to add: I see I have some Mentions that include my full username "@[email protected]" without linking to the user page, so it is probably based on finding the username format as a substring.

Does this show up in your mentions? [email protected] (markdown link with the actual website link behind it). @[email protected] shows up in mine even though it’s not highlighted or clickable for me

That showed up to me in Replies but not in Mentions.
