@hiyaaaaa23 Now its your turn, Elon. Can you integrate NFTs and Crypto Currency into Twitter? The battle continues...
If you actually wanted to tag the person, you need to include the instance they're on. In your case I'd have to write
@thingsiplay@kbin.social@curiosityLynx The name is written out fully automatically when I click "Add comment"; kbin, the instance where I am, will put full identifier automatically. But on posting it only shows the "id name" without "instance part", but links to the account. Like in this situation with your name. My guess is, the person is still tagged correctly and only the HTML link name is shown in the browser.
I just wish it would link to the actual post or reply directly, instead the person. With the ability to preview on mouse hover (just like how it works on person accounts, at least for me on the desktop browser). This would make discussions more clear.
Yes, I think it's an issue from kglitch.social, when seeing your comment (or other mentions) from there it does not show it as a link:

@Ferk Interesting. I have checked the link from you, to see it from their perspective. And sure enough that won't show me a link too, BUT... The guy from kglitch.social has a link. What I think happening is following: Because I respond to the guy in the same instance kbin.social, it won't put the entire name. I know this from Mastodon, where if we are in the same instance, I don't need to put the instance id to tag someone. And because the guy from kglitch is not in the same instance, it will automatically create a full id reference, which every instance render as a link.
Hopefully I could explain what I think is happening. Maybe it is not an issue with kglitch itself, but how Kbin works.
That actually makes sense.
@Ferk
it might be the /kbin core, not your site you're on.
if you mention someone at your instance here i also prob would see a "full url" (as long it's not the same instance we are on, yes even if it's kbin based)
linking magazines is even more broken.
if i link a kbin social magazine, its not even gonna show, if i do mention a magazine on another instance here on kbin.social it does shorten and link to it, while the ppl over there just see the "full url" of my mention vice versa :,D
