There are a couple ways to do this. 

If you're on a computer you'll see a "Share" button in the upper right. You can click on that and then enter in the person's username and it will send that person an email to that blog or discussion or question etc.

Or you can go to the content that you want someone to be aware of and @Mention them.

If you're wanting to respond to their post or blog with a blog of yours or someone else's you'll need to copy the link of the blog into a response on their blog. For example check out Dr. Burke's blog post https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/community/expert-advice/blog/2020/04/13/smoking-and-covid-19 

If you want to share a specific comment within a post you need to get the permalink or respond to the comment you want someone to see with an @mention to them. To get the permalink you need to go to the thread/blog/etc where you want someone else to see and find the time/date stamp near the top of the comment. It is right below the person's name. Right click and choose "Copy link address" or whatever is similar in phrasing. And then copy that link into whatever place you're wanting to reference that reply.  You can also just click reply to the comment you want someone to see and then click the " button and then do an @mention of the person you want to see it. 

If you want to send the comment/blog more privately you can start a private message to the user and copy the permalink I mentioned in the above paragraph into the private message and send.

Just an added note and some visuals to help:  You must be in the blog itself in order to see the share button, e.g.:

If you're viewing it from your inbox you won't find the share button, it will look like this instead:

Here's a visual of the Time/date stamp on someone's comment that Mark mentioned above.  But again, you must be in on the blog itself, not just viewing it from your inbox:
