Tag/Mention a user, with a comment to a post

[bilakos26]

Hello!

Can I tag/mention a user, with a comment to a media post?
For example: "@user1 look at this"

I tried to comment and it returned me this error:
"instagrapi.exceptions.UnknownError: failed to mention"

Any thoughts here?

Are you allowed to tag a user through the official Instagram app?

Your question made me think about something different.

I can now comment to a post mentioning someone, but it needs to follow each other I think.

And to answer your question, from the app you can mention users to posts in the comment section.

Not implemented #365, but u can sponsor developing this function or implement this function yourself and send PR

Unfortunately, I don't have the proper knowledge to help you with that.
The least I can do is to tip you at some point for this precious tool that you have created here for all of us.

Thank you a lot man!

Buy 3 cups of coffee and I am implementing this function

The comments are working right now so I don't quietly understood what you are going to implement.

Either way, when I will finish my project, if everything works well I will without a doubt buy you some coffees 😉
