I don't think auto linking is implemented for users like it is for communities. Compare @fer0n@lemm.ee with !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.
In the notifications page at /inbox there's a tab for Mentions but I don't know what is considered a mention given there are many different ways to link to a user page.
edited to add: I see I have some Mentions that include my full username "@heartlessevil@lemmy.one" without linking to the user page, so it is probably based on finding the username format as a substring.
Does this show up in your mentions? heartlessevil@lemmy.one (markdown link with the actual website link behind it). @fer0n@lemm.ee shows up in mine even though itβs not highlighted or clickable for me
That showed up to me in Replies but not in Mentions.
Ah I forgot the @. This should show up: @heartlessevil@lemmy.one
indeed
