@-mention someone

Updated Nov 11, 2026

Write @ and someone's username in your words when you share, or in a reply. In the extension, typing @ suggests people you follow and people who follow you. The person you mention gets a notification in the bell.

A mention only reaches someone who can see the post. On a post to your followers that means people who follow you. On a post to named people, only those people. Mentioning anyone else notifies nobody.
