Can lemmy users see when they're mentioned in a microblog post from kbin? (kbin.social)

I'm trying to contact a user on lemmy, but can't dm them (it's not clear to me if this is a bug or if dms don't work across instances or software, but either way it's not working). My next workaround would be to ping them in a microblog post, but lemmy doesn't have a microblog section. Would a lemmy user receive a notification about and be able to view a kbin microblog post in which they're mentioned?

not implemented yet.

But it seems to me that there shouldn't be any issues with the visibility of microblog posts:

Good to know that microblog posts show up on lemmy, although it's a bit awkward that (if I'm seeing that correctly) they show up as regular threads there. I might mention them in a thread that's not as closely directed to them instead. Thanks for the reply. :)
