Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?

    Far as I understand, there isn’t a way to do that. Federated usernames work essentially like an email address because of the decentralized nature of the service. If I type @sparky@lemmy.federate.cc it won’t send you a notification, but it will link your profile.

    At least I think that’s how it works. Who wants to jump in and point out all the ways I’m wrong?

      I have definitely received a mention notification on Jerboa when someone mentioned me like that.
