I tried to reply comment but no autocomplete, so if I want to reply, how to notice a user?

Right now, just type out the username, preceded by an @ sign. There is not currently any auto complete.

Good news, though; a total rework of the comment system is in the works right now, including different methods of pinging, threaded comments, and I think autocomplete. I don't have a timeline for when it'll be ready, but @luap42 - our Development Lead - is working on it, and it'll be released whenever it's ready.

Even more important than auto-complete is to be able to abbreviate the names. On SE, for example, all you needed was the first 3 letters. That was very useful.

This new comment system sounds very promising overall - threaded comments would also be awesome too!

And 11 months later both auto-complete and threaded comments are there. Should anything been done to this Q&A (updating the answer, moving to meta.codidact)?
