The term "Mentions" on here means when you type an @ symbol and then the address of the account you want to mention. This is also known as @-ing (pronounced "at-ing").
Mentioning an account causes the account owner to get a notification about the post where they were mentioned, so they can go and see it.
There are lots of questions answered about mentions on Mastodon here:
