How do mentions work?

This might be a Lemmy question more than a Jerboa question, but no matter what I try I can't seem to mention myself in a comment and have it show up in my inbox. Is there a trick to mentioning someone? Or is this part of the app not working? Or do I need to wait for the federation to do some funky syncing between instances?

On the web it'll autofill with an @ but Jerboa doesn't have this yet.

Should be in the format @user@instsnce

So @album@lemmy.ca

If it doesn't work then maybe it's not implemented properly. Like how linking a community doesn't really work all that well either
