I think that’s a kbin thing, where any time you reply to a comment, your comment includes an @ to that comment’s author. I think the only one they intended to “ping” was butterface
Oh, interesting! Thanks for pointing that out. Side note: entries… I hope kbin adopts better language for what to call Reddit-like posts (articles), Twitter-like microblog posts (posts), and comments (entries?). I never would have guessed entries == comments. Maybe this is ActivityPub-specific naming? It reminds me of a past job where we surfaced internal technical names as the names of products and features… it just confused customers.
@ted
@Butter_My_Buttcheeks anybody know about kbin?
Just guessing based on this open issue, kbin has not done this yet.
Look at who you responded to. It’s one of the usernames you pinged. Just saying 🙂

Buttercheeks!
Not a kbin thing… might be an extension though. I’m on kbin and no automatic mention was added to the top of this comment when I replied to you.
It’s a setting (default off) called
Add mention tags in entries
under the “Writing” subsection.Weird, I didn’t change that setting but I’m pinging everyone. I thought it was a kbin default.
The option below the one I listed is for when you comment on “microblog” stuff. That one is default on.
I went to settings and turned it all off. Didn’t see that there the last time I tweaked settings. Must be new! Kudos to ernest.

I looked at kbin before going with lemmy… So not sure what kbin can do
