How do you use your user tags in your app? (lemmy.world)

So quite a few lemmy clients have a tagging feature for users. I use it quite constantly because I like to remember who I'm talking to. Though for some I just use it for descriptors. A few of you are listed as stubborn, a few of you are listed as don't engage, a few are Nice, or helpful, or Pug. I believe one of you is just listed as fish guy(don't remember why).

How do you all use your tagging system, if you do at all?

I don't. Mostly because I haven't heard about it until now, because a use case for me would be exactly what you use it for. As far as I can see, Voyager doesn't provide an interface for it.

Aww that's a shame, well I can confirm connect and boost both have this feature, it's nice!

I can tag with @ followed by name. Now sure if that's what you meant

I think I misunderstood what you meant by user tag. I interpreted it as a method for me to assign tags to people that only I would be able to see.

For example, if I were to tag you as "A hoopy frood", I would see that next time we happened to interact out of the blue, so I'd get a rough outline of who you are to me. Not sure how such a mechanism would be implemented.

I'm not op and I didn't understand what they meant. I just learned how to tag someone (lol) and I thought you didn't know either (yeah is dumb)
