Mentions

The “Comments / Mentions” toggle button will allow you to switch between comments and mentions.

The mentions view will show a list of any posts or comments that mention your name. When selecting the post or comment, it will be displayed on the right pane.

This will allow you to quickly react the same way you are already used for comments.

By default, Engage uses “lazy” mode to search for mentions, meaning it searches the comment or post content for any match with your username, whether it is prefixed with an “@” or not. Therefore, if your username is something like @this, it can take some time before the loading of all mentions completes.

While this generates an exhaustive search, the drawback is that it may trigger erroneous “mentions”. Let’s say your username is @Hive, Engage will then consider any of the following text as a mention:

• go to website Hive.blog

• I use HiveSQL to create my stats posts

• Hiveblocks.com is an explorer for the Hive blockchain

As you can see, depending on the username you choose, the mentions search result might not be appropriate.

The workaround is to activate the “strict” search mode (see settings below). Not only will it be faster, but more accurate and will only match your “prefixed” username, i.e. @Hive
