Ah yes, if you just write @mention it won't work. You have to write the @mention and then choose from the autocomplete list.
The reason for that is a bit technical, but it's basically because the posts are HTML content and using the auto-complete functionality would insert the necessary HTML to make an interactive @mention show up.
I'll see if I can make it work such that just writing the handle also works. As it does in these comments.
P.S.
I'll update the post for you to have proper mentions

Oh I see what you mean now. The @mentions is completely broken in that editor 😂 – Will fix!
