Make sure you're using a burner account, don't know what the restrictions on this are yet. Make sure that account has a few subs, most channels if no subs. Don't get the option for community tab postings.

Method

Go to any popular or random youtube video that falls under your niche.

Copy usernames under comments (new feature of youtube) should look like @username8634

After you have gathered usernames

go to your community tab and write something like. Check out this cool youtube channel (or video) {insert url} then start mentioning by hand the usernames you gathered. Copying and pasting does not register. Write the characters by their username after writing @ a little window should popup

Don't know if this has been posted here yet, but it has real good potential. Especially if someone makes a bot for it. Doing all this by hand is time consuming (If you know of any bots that do this, let me know.)

It's kind of simliar to when youtube had a message system in place, to reach a channel directly on the platform.
 
Its not working just tried no notification was sent when i mentioned my own account.

Just tested it on myself, on the YT app. Click on notifications then hit Mentions tab. Going to look into it more, to see if a email is sent out as well.

No email notification was sent by yt, going to try to see. If a web based notification comes in with other methods. Maybe by tagging in video titles etc
 
Alright, from what I can see. It goes through and you can see it using YT app, don't see it on web. Maybe someone can continue to play around with it. Find a method where the account gets a hard notification instead of looking for it in mentions tab. Anyways, worth a try! Cheers
 
*Update, this method does work, updates the user 24 hours later in notifications that someone mentioned them. Enjoy
