what are my tags?
Yoooooo
i have one user tagged as “ate raw pasta until he threw up” because he once wrote in a comment that he did this
Now I have 1 user tagged as “tags users with strange stories”.
user* singular. i have only tagged one person
Corrected.
sorry you gotta change it back it’s plural now
I will change it to “tagged a person who ate raw pasta until they vomited” then we don’t need to update each other :)
I use them to tag warnings and green flags for people. That way I know if someone isn’t the type for disagreements or if I should value their opinion more due to some fact. Maybe somebody is tagged as excellent coder due to some great code they shared. Maybe as asshat if they’re an asshat. Or, more commonly, tagged as AI Info so I know to take their words with a grain of salt.
Also so at a glance being able to recognize cool people from one community in another. Like seeing pmjv in the wild. Helpful without the profile pics
Can you use multiple tags? Say someone who’s an excellent coder and an arsehat, do they get both or does one have to win out? Alternatively do you make a new tag for them? Excellent arsehat?
I’m honestly curious, I’m haunted by people using too many, too varied, and too generic tags in DevOps and am doing anything to find a way to remedy it.
Sadly not no. I just use a | between items though and shorten the name. Like gr8 cdr | asht
Ahhh, all of that makes sense! Thanks!
What style is the asshat? One could be intrigued
I don’t want to accidentally interact with the same people over and over but I’m dumb and start posting comments without realizing it. So I use it with attention grabbing colors to be like “hey, make sure you’re not just commenting on everything this person posts”.
Or I like to give people nicknames too. We do a little parasocial
I tag people for the same reason the other person mentioned but also, if you want to spread a bit of joy, tag someone who makes you smile or if someone seems down on themselves. Next time you see them in the wild, remind them they cheered you up or that they matter :)
Is that client-specific? I bounce between Voyager and Jerboa for reasons. Voyager has user tags, and I have some people tagged as “Fave” there, but I can’t find that in Jerboa.
I rarely use the web interface, and haven’t looked there.
To my knowledge Lemmy doesn’t have user tags. So any tagging will be client specific.
How does one tag in voyager
Go to their user page, click … menu in upper right, “edit tag”.
Alas, I had tags off, apparently.
You can also long-press on their username in any comment thread to bring up a menu with “Edit Tag”. Saves a few taps.
I have no idea if it’s client specific. I’ve only ever used one client.
