As per the title.
I just tried taging someone for the first time and I didn’t get the magic blue link. I assume they don’t get notified unless it turns blue. I’m on the mobile site if that makes a difference. I’ve noticed a few other peoples comments with the same issue.

Thanks for letting me know. It definitely used to be “Gold” only. . Didn’t know they gave it to everyone. Looks like it went global around 2015 but the blog post is gone. My reddit account is about twice that old. Either way not a commonly used feature in general threads.
