e.g. [@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/Dirt_Owl) would mention a hexbear user on hexbear

But if I’m posting on Instance A, tagging a user with an account on Instance B, do I change the first part of the link only? Or both? What is the correct syntax please and thank you.

    Just do @nemo@slrpnk.net, it’s instance neutral. No need for link formatting.

      I thought this too but apparently the web UI does link formatting.

    What you’re doing is proper, by the way. I wish Lemmy’s markdown parser had an inbuilt way to understand the format @<user>@<instance>.<domain>, without having to enclose in []().
