When you hover over the avatar or name of a user, page, community, or event on a timeline post, comment, or anywhere a user is mentioned, you'll see a small pop-up providing a quick look at important information about the element you are hovering over. Currently, the information shown in the pop-up is hardcoded and cannot be customized.
Depending on the type of element, you can also take action, like follow or join, or quickly open the element in a new tab. When you move your cursor away, the pop-up automatically disappears.
Elements that can be private, such as pages, communities, and events only show detailed information to subscribers and members. Other users will only see the name of the element and that it is private, without any further information.
