@Nmyownworld you will see more options, formatting and otherwise, when you are typing your posts in your fediverse client. Your client may be a website app like lemmy (there’s few lemmy apps right now so most people are using the web) or it might be a mastodon client or other fediverse client.
Thank you both for taking time to answer my questions. Much appreciated. This time I didn’t let your names autofill. I typed out just your names after the @. Let’s see what happens.
edit: Lol. Nothing happened. I learned something else today. Re-edited with autofill.
I don’t have a Mastodon account. I might get one at some point, but not yet. Right now, startrek.website is my only Fediverse account.
@Nmyownworld @ValueSubtracted
I’m viewing your post via Mastodon. This is what how your posts look to me. I don’t think you see the @ symbol for yourself.

Okay. Thanks! I don’t see an @ symbol next to your or Value Subtracted’s comments here. However, your name does show as John :mastodon:
Using someone’s Fediverse username. Okay. I’m going to experiment here, using your names with the @. Wow. I see formatting I hadn’t seen before.
edit: I also see more information, [email protected] rather just @ValueSubtracted. Is that because it’s my comment?

@Nmyownworld @ValueSubtracted you should be able to @ reply to someone by typing out their entire fediverse username. Mine would be @FreezePeach.
For people on StarTrek.website you’d type @[email protected]

@Nmyownworld I got your message (post? Toot? There’s so many ways to refer to these messages across the fediverse)
