I just saw a flash of another user's main page that refreshed into mine. (lemmy.world)

Just now, loading the page https://lemmy.world, I saw a different user's main page. The page loaded in light mode (I use dark) with the username of /u/froodloop in the top right. Then a moment later, it refreshed into my expected main page with my username in top right. This went past too quickly to get a screenshot, but it was reminiscent of some of the bugs that were happening in the old websocket code.

To send a mention use type @user@instance and select from the dropdown box, alternatively type the full link manually [@user@instance](https://instance/u/user)

You can generate an instance agnostic link with /u/user@instance automatically, which will allow other users to see their profile from within their own instance, however this won't give a mention notification to the user.

I'm not sure if the link text has to be correct for the mention. When you select from the dropdown box on lemmy it comes out with @user@instance in the link text.

Also I edited my comment above to include instance agnostic links. Unfortunately they don't deliver mention notifications.
