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

    Short answer: No.

    tl;dr answer: There’s no tagging function in place unless you manually tag them using markdown, and that still wouldn’t notify them. That would be a bandaid solution at best.

      I might be misunderstanding something, but you are talking about a tag (same as a private note over mastodon or a profile note in discord)

      At least it looks that way because of this

      Add the ability to tag users, so a title i give him will be next to his name.

      What this user is asking is if you can write someone’s name on a post and for that petson to receive a notification that they have been mentioned.

        I completely understand what was said - that is not the problem. I’m well aware.

        The problem is that I misread the issue I linked to.

        My comment has since been edited.

      Which is strange because there seems to be support for notifications of a mention? Jerboa even has a section for it, but no one has mentioned me yet so I don’t know if it works.

        it works if you comment.

        like this - now it shows up in your notifs.

        there’s no actual tagging function, though.
