FYI, the @ doesn’t make a link unless you select it from the dropdown box, or actually type out some link code eg [link text](@user@instance). This link will also take you to their instance, away from the instance you’re logged into.
To automatically generate an instance agnostic link you need to use /u/user@instance, so /u/[email protected]. However, this won’t create a mention to their inbox, you can only do a mention with the link code.
Disclaimer: all this behaviour I’m describing is the core lemmy website behaviour, apps may have their own quarks.

Isn’t u/ a reddit thing @[email protected]
/u is the same on lemmy, /r is what changes to /c
I don’t believe it is as I haven’t seen any documentation say that
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html
Just go to a community and look at the URL, then do the same with a user
That is only true for the urlAnytime I’ve gotten a mention it has always been @[email protected]I’d mention you as @[email protected]And again the lemmy documentation doesn’t mention u/Edit: never mind I just realised I misread your initial comment and went on from that initial misreading
Sorry about that
Ah, good ol quirky Lemmy stuff. I fixed it (I think), but I also spent 30 minutes trying (unsuccessfully) to post an animated gif so who knows
Good stuff! Only question is whether they got a mention for your edit hah.
