u/

Reddit’s shorthand for “User”. This is a prefix used when you are mentioning a specific user, for example u/llamageddon01. This gives a direct link to that user’s profile. This is also known as a “ping” or a “tag” and that user will get a notification whenever you use it in a comment in any subreddit, with the exception of some private subreddits, even if that person is a member.
