Hello @Libranet Support @Friendica Support !

I've just realised something, which I assume is down to imperfect federation between Friendica and Mastodon: When I reply to someone on Mastodon, it automatically includes a mention of them @name.whatever - but I don't see that mention. If it's a nested comment, multiple mentions might be included. I only realised this when someone asked to stop mentioning them in a thread, and didn't realise I had.

Is this intentional? Is there a way to not mention someone in a comment on their post (or a reply to a comment)? Thanks.

@Noam writes I think "Settings" > "Additional features" > "Post composition" > "Explicit mentions" controls whether these mentions are hidden or not; if they are explicitly placed in the compose box, you can remove them. That's my understanding anyway.

Friendica Support reshared this.

Mona is just one of the many apps for Mastodon. I use it on my iPhone and also on my Mac.
