If you use quote, it tells you who you're quoting. Alternatively you can use @mention, which does this: @Cannon011. You can find both at the bottom right of the post you want to reply to.

@Poi So if I want to RP to a certain post all I have to do is mebtion or quote it? That seems hard to keep track of.

@Cannon011 I'm personally a little bit confused on the question. :)

So if you're looking to reply to an RP or thread to show interest, you need to click on the link to that thread on the page, then make sure you're in the "OOC" tab (located at the top of the first post on any page of that thread) to say so or post a character sheet. If you're looking to discuss something in an RP you're a part of in the OOC tab, then yeah, usually we use the "@Mention" or "Quote" buttons to specifically reply to statements/posts from others, so that we don't get lost in the clutter because it will give that person a notification to say that you specifically were looking to reply to them.

If you're posting in the "In-Character" tab, then you shouldn't need to mention or quote the post you're replying to unless that's common custom for that specific group, because everybody is contributing to the same story, so everybody is... essentially replying to everybody. Again, of course, if the RP in particular mentions the folks involved in the reply to any post on the IC tab, then sure, follow custom.

EDIT: And the "post Reply" button is in reference to the thread on the whole. It means reply to the thread, so your message pops up last on the page and is added to the discussion/RP. It's only replying to a specific person if you're mentioning that person. Otherwise, it's a broad use of the term "reply."

@ScoutSo... If I find an RP I like and join it, how do I RP in the IC tab? There are lots of replies in there to the main post, how do I know which main post reply is directed at me, and how do I make sure my reply is directed at the person I'm currently interacting with?

@Cannon011 Oh, um... posts aren't organized in outline format.

Just a single thread of (un)consiousness.

@Cannon011
Using the mention method [@usernamehere]

Technically, the Reply always responds to the very first Original Post. If you wish to reply to a particular post, that's where the Quote function comes in handy.

@Cannon011 I hope these answers get to the bottom of what you're looking for. ^^" I'll admit, I'm still a little confused as to what you're asking.

Lol I recommend you avoid Reddit like the plague then.

Greetings Stranger,

@ScoutI get that... But most RP interactions are more than just one reply, yes? How to I respond to their rrply, and so forth.

In character, the standard means that isn't chaotic is to simply start typing your response and either @mention the involved players and/or mention the characters involved in the interaction.

RP interactions, generally speaking, are a continued story, and your response is a small progression of the timeline from your character's perspective. You don't necessarily need to do the quote gig, especially if it's a 1x1 RP, where you simply continue the story back and forth in a line of posts.

Assuming I understood the question.

It may be helpful to go to a forum and read a few posts in an RP to get an idea of how the layout works.

@ArenaSnow Is right - that's the perfect advice. :)
