From my short experience with mastodon and similars (misskey, akkoma), it doesn’t notify a user you’ve replied to if you don’t @ them, which makes no sense to me, since the “Reply” is pointing to said user’s post anyway. So, their workaround is to force @ them anyway
actually let me test this now, will this reply work without the @ ?
It works, since lemmy is more like reddit/forums
good to know, idk why mastodon puts it in automatically then
