It’s said to be a limitation caused by the heading markdown, usually when you’re starting a line with `#` that’s what you want.

However, I use tags extensively in my community and I’d like to target this eventually, users often mistype the tag they are trying to mention. @sam said it’s #pr-welcome (allowing the dropdown to appear when you type a letter after the `#`).
