Great, thanks for explanation.
Didn't know author of the post wouldn't be notified, if I don't mention them. Assumed it would be automatic.
Whole interface for posting/replying still confuses me. I guess it's more or less copied from twitter, but I never used it, so ui looks a bit alien to me =)
And part about "reply in thread" - when I hover over reply button it sometimes shows a hint with those words. Now I noticed that it actually only showed for replies to replies.

Yeah, it ought to just say "reply". It's very much the style of Twitter, definitely.
By the way, there's more info about mentions at https://fedi.tips/what-are-mentions-on-mastodon-what-does-ing-mean and it also covers how mentions can be used to send DMs.
