I have a couple of new questions. I wasn't sure if I should start a new post, or risk being a necromancer and resurrect this post. I'm going with necromancer. It'll be something cool to add if I ever write my memoir. Unless it's against the rules, in which case, sorry about this.
My questions: why do some folks here have an @ before their usernames? And, why don't I have an @ before my username? Background: I haven't signed up for anything in the Fediverse or Mastodon except for startrek.website.
Second question: how do I format an @ with the username in a comment or post in order to notify that person. I've learned that replying to someone's comment or post alerts them.
We're still learning how all this works, ourselves...are you by chance visiting from a Mastodon account?
I don't have a Mastodon account. I might get one at some point, but not yet. Right now, startrek.website is my only Fediverse account.
@Nmyownworld @ValueSubtracted
I’m viewing your post via Mastodon. This is what how your posts look to me. I don’t think you see the @ symbol for yourself.
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Okay. Thanks! I don't see an @ symbol next to your or Value Subtracted's comments here. However, your name does show as John :mastodon:
Using someone's Fediverse username. Okay. I'm going to experiment here, using your names with the @. Wow. I see formatting I hadn't seen before.
edit: I also see more information, [email protected] rather just @ValueSubtracted. Is that because it's my comment?
@Nmyownworld you will see more options, formatting and otherwise, when you are typing your posts in your fediverse client. Your client may be a website app like lemmy (there’s few lemmy apps right now so most people are using the web) or it might be a mastodon client or other fediverse client.
@Nmyownworld @ValueSubtracted you should be able to @ reply to someone by typing out their entire fediverse username. Mine would be @FreezePeach.
For people on StarTrek.website you’d type @[email protected]
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Thank you both for taking time to answer my questions. Much appreciated. This time I didn't let your names autofill. I typed out just your names after the @. Let's see what happens.
edit: Lol. Nothing happened. I learned something else today. Re-edited with autofill.
@Nmyownworld I got your message (post? Toot? There’s so many ways to refer to these messages across the fediverse)
