Summary

When only a single @ is used, autocompleting usernames for mentions works and the text is replaced as desired. When a second @ is added at the end to indicate the end of the username, which separates the username from the instance name, this gets treated as the start of the mention once again, rather than extending the previous mention autocomplete.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Type @threelon in a comment

2. Autocomplete suggests @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works

   

3. Click autocomplete option, which inserts [@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/u/threelonmusketeers)

4. Start new mention, type @threelonmusketeers@

5. Autocomplete suggests the same. Sometimes this also moves the autocomplete suggestion to the second @ instead of the first one

   

6. Clicking the autocomplete option inserts [@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/u/threelonmusketeers) in the place of the second @, leaving @threelonmusketeers[@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/u/threelonmusketeers) as the full text

7. Start a new mention, type @threelonmusketeers@sh

8. Autocomplete only searches for the text after the second @

I don't have time to work on this one, but the autocomplete was never supposed to work with multiples of the same symbols (and I have no idea how that would work).
