e.g. [.net](https://hexbear.net/u/Dirt_Owl) would mention a hexbear user on hexbear
But if I’m posting on Instance A, tagging a user with an account on Instance B, do I change the first part of the link only? Or both? What is the correct syntax please and thank you.
You must log in or register to comment.
Just do @[email protected], it’s instance neutral. No need for link formatting.
I thought this too but apparently the web UI does link formatting.
What you’re doing is proper, by the way. I wish Lemmy’s markdown parser had an inbuilt way to understand the format
@<user>@<instance>.<domain>, without having to enclose in[]().
