I was expecting something like @fer0n@lemm.ee, 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 @fer0n@lemm.ee with !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

    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 “@heartlessevil@lemmy.one” without linking to the user page, so it is probably based on finding the username format as a substring.
