Should Lemmy consider potentially adding a QR code feature for user profiles, similar to what Mastodon has introduced? (lemmy.world)

Mastodon’s QR feature lets users quickly share any profile by tapping a QR icon next to the username in the Android app.

This generates a unique QR code that others can scan to instantly open the profile in their app or browser, making it much easier to connect-especially at events or in noisy environments.

Would a similar feature benefit Lemmy?

To add to what have been said, instead of QR code for users, have it for communities instead. That's what Lemmy/threadiverse is more built around.

Yeah, it's like the other commenters all identified that Lemmy is based on communities not users, but stopped JUST SHORT of coming to the right conclusion. Community QR codes!
