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?
Funnily enough @fer0n@lemm.ee does seem to work in the Liftoff app, but I guess there maybe isn’t a standard yet. 😃
That actually showed up in my mentions, I guess I just can’t mention myself. Thanks :)
I’ve just tried it, it works in Jerboa too
Shows up as a link on mlem, but it takes me to Mail 🥹
This is an area of very much needed improvement.
For users, you should use the completion popup. When you type an @ followed by a name it will suggest users matching that, and if you click on one it will fill out a mention with the link to their origin page.
Give it a shot, try mentioning me in a reply!
The issue with this is the link isn’t portable, meaning it may get you out of your home instance. The best way to link any user or community is to do
/u/name .tld
(for users;/c/
for communities) instead ofhttps://origininstance.tld/u/name
. That way the link is relative (so no issue of moving away from your home) and it’s fully qualified (so no issue with name clashes between instances).Ah I see it now. Maybe an ad blocker got in the way because that’s the first thing I tried. Can you try /u/fer0n@lemm.ee? I‘d like to see if that shows up in my mentions
It rendered as a link for me, because I’m on 0.18.1 already (RC). Mobile apps might not support it yet.
@fer0n@lemm.ee here is what the tag looks like when replying on Liftoff.
Maybe this https://lemm.ee/u/fer0n
Or !fer0n@lemm.ee although that’s for communities isn’t it?
Its actually trough a pop-up that I’ve only seen working on the instance website itself (idk how it is usually called) It creates a thing that that looks like this on the final message: @fer0n@lemm.ee
Yes, that also shows up in mine. I think that’s simply a markdown link to my profile “[@fer0n@lemm.ee]” directly followed by “(https://lemm.ee/u/fer0n)”: @fer0n@lemm.ee
This works, but that should definitely be built-in regardless of client.
