On Reddit, it's possible to tag a user bij adding a u/ before the username of some account.

Is that possible on Lemmy?

Edit: thanks everybody! These worked.

I also found this early discussion helpfull

Solution

Introduce a special format for instance agnostic links (called Lemmy links) that will be opened in the current instance:

for posts: #1@lemmy.world
for users: @ruud@lemmy.world
for communities: [!asklemmy@lemmy.ml](/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)

for comments: ~1@lemmy.world

This will open page at https:///post/1, https://lemmy.world/u/ruud, https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml, https://lemmy.world/comment/1 respectively. It will not break existing links functionality as direct HTTP links are still supported.

Bookmark the resource link (or mark this comment as saved on lemmy) for future reference

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !asklemmy@lemmy.ml,

I'm on lemmy.world and the autosuggestion offers me this code:

[@UnanimousStargazer@feddit.nl](https://feddit.nl/u/UnanimousStargazer)

Which results in this link: @UnanimousStargazer@feddit.nl
