Syntax to link to a community or a user in a comment?
In particular for a user, so they get a notification that they were mentioned.
Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

@[email protected] should do it.
Thanks. So like Mastodon. I even got the notification. Very nice!
Good to hear it all worked properly.
![email protected]
Thank you!
If you write
[email protected]and aren't on some.instance yourself, that works for everyone, regardless of whether their instance server knows about that community already or not.If you are on some.instance and write
[email protected], both lemmy and kbin are overzealous and it ends up only working for people on some.instance.In that case, you can use
[link text for lemmy users](/c/[email protected])and[link for kbin users](/[email protected]). The one for kbin users looks a bit different to guarantee the link works even if their instance doesn't have anyone subscribed to [email protected] yet. Not sure if the lemmy link works in such a case.````````
