I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

… damn how do i make this link and notify more than one user …

I believe you can omit tagging someone if you're replying directly to them, but otherwise you've done it the right way (I don't know how to get it to "highlight" the mention in the comment, but I can confirm I did get both a reply and mention notification so despite it not being highlighted it did still work)!

Wow thanks for the reply. Yes i knew i can omit it but wanted to mention both explicitly. That was one thing i never knew on Reddit, if users get notified when i "@" mention them or if stuff got cross-posted when people mentioned the r/sub. I feel a bit idiotic now, although i'm technically knowledgeable. Just not scial media adapted.

It's all good! I feel like I'm constantly learning something new every day (which I'll gladly take)!

I know on Reddit username mentions was a premium feature at some point, but I feel like I heard at some point it got moved to just being a general feature, cross posts required an explicit button click on a post to perform a cross post (similar to how it works here on Lemmy as well).
