I want an inline mention search feature much like Snort does it but ... one that actually finds all the accounts I follow, their follows and their follows follows. And it should sort by follows, too. Direct follows, first.

And then I want to be able to choose if the user gets notified and if the user should show up in the text, allowing to notify without mention and to mention without notification.

Currently in Snort I can use the @ symbol to open an inline search but it results in a notification. I need to know my NIPs to turn it into a plain mention without notification but snort won't let me do a plain notification at all. Astral does but it's discontinued I suspect, with no commits in months.
