Use @mentions in a post
Creating PostsShare updates, announcements, research, and media with the Brigaly community. Compose rich posts with up to 10 images (auto-compressed to WebP), link previews, @mentions with smart suggestions, and hashtags for discoverability.
Step-by-step
- 1Type the @ symbol followed by the first few letters of a user's or institution's name.
- 2An autocomplete dropdown appears with matching results, showing both users and institutions.
- 3Results are prioritised: your circle members appear first (marked with a purple ● badge), followed by people you follow (blue ◆ badge), then other users.
- 4Click on the person or institution you want to mention to insert them into your post.
- 5The mentioned entity will receive a notification when the post is published.
- 6Mentions appear as highlighted, clickable names in the published post.
- 7When no text is typed after @, you will see suggestions from your circle (up to 5), following (up to 5), and others (up to 5).
