<![CDATA[Mentioning a new user of Mastodon]]>At https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/491 I mentioned the ID of a user whose BSD Cafe Mastodon account might be less than an hour old:

@Darknessraptor@bsd.cafe

There's no auto-matching (no auto-linking) when his ID is typed, I guess it's too soon.

https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@Darknessraptor

Background: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/comment/omq7w4v/ (announcing his presence in Mastodon) was posted around an hour ago.

@Darknessraptor@bsd.cafe does not work as a link. Copied after double-clicking his ID at his profile in BSD Cafe Mastodon:

If, instead, I begin typing @dark then he's found. A menu of matching IDs:

@darknessraptor@mastodon.bsd.cafe

Maybe I have forgotten part of how this part of the Fediverse works 🙂
