When I type @[email protected], there is no hyperlink created. Does that mean I did not properly mention them? I also tried u/[email protected].
The docs do not cover this.

I’m using the stock web client of slrpnk.net (whatever version that is), and when I type @[email protected] … oh, wow, that worked. Strange. In the cases that failed me, I copy-pasted the user’s address. So apparently it must be typed out manually to trigger auto-complete. I see that the client just makes it a markdown hyperlink to your profile. That’s useful, but what’s more important is that the user get a notification. When i copy-paste the address (e.g. @[email protected]) there’s nothing to signal to me that the user was recognized and that they will actually be populated in the “mentions” field of the JSON record.
I’m calling this a #LemmyBug. When an address is copy-pasted into a msg, you have no indication of whether the other account was properly recognized and that they will get a notification. When I view source, it just shows the body of the msg not the JSON record.
That definitely sounds like a bug I would check if it exists on their GitHub and report it if it doesn’t.
I don’t do MS #Github (#deleteGithub). Or MS (anything) for that matter. I am 100% #GAFAM and #Cloudflare-free. I will generally report issues to #Debian’s bug tracker but that’s only an option for pkgs that are in Debian’s official repos. #Lemmy is not – which in itself is a concern.
Debian requires packages to reach a certain quality standard. When a pkg becomes official Debian it suggests the package has enough popularity & quality to be taken seriously. Debian is quite popular¹ so Lemmy should try to put itself on the map. Until then I’ll have to file my bugs under the LemmyBug hashtag.
