How to mention a user

I recently noticed this sentence in the help section:

You can @mention users anywhere in the text to point their attention, follow users and conversations and report inappropriate content by flagging it.

However, I seem to be too stupid to use it ... I tried:

  • @< username >
  • @mention < username >

What is the correct way to use this neat trick?

/edit: removed the space in the first syntax
