A minimal problem example is cross-posting between SN and nostr. You post it on SN but SN also blasts it as a note written by the author to nostr relays. (Someone is working on this already!) People on nostr have no idea where it was originally posted, nor should they have to care.
So we'd want to be able to add a mention to a post that doesn't look like a mention but still acts like one.
[keyan](@k00b) maybe ... and it ends up getting broadcast to nostr as [keyan](https://stacker.news/k00b) and rendered as keyan and still triggers the mention on SN
Exactly! You would also want to encourage input through replies here. Example - I review Mutiny Wallet and want Tony's input and reaction through replies.
Alternatively, maybe we just recognize SN links that point to profiles and have them trigger mentions.
e.g. make links like [keyan](https://stacker.news/k00b) in markdown function just like a mention.
Even better, and simple for non coders like me
I can see SN becoming a place where content is published first, then hopefully widely shared on other sites. If you reference a non nym SN member by name in the article, you would want that person to see the mention, but you wouldn't want a SN only nym like @ekzyis in the article. I know it's not a big deal. It just so happens that the issue came up in an article I'm writing. I'm sure you have more important fish to fry.
