2334 users here now
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Some clients for social media allow you to add tags to other users. Basically just a mark only you can see. That way if you encounter them again you know who you're dealing with. Generally used negatively, to mark people you don't like. Upgrading to blocked just means converting that into a full software block for whatever platform. Generally meaning you won't see that user and they won't see you again.
seems unnecessarily convoluted, rather just block and not deal with it.
I just do neither. I don't get blocking people. Been online since bbs days and it just never seems worthwhile. More effort when. It's easier to just scroll on by and ignore.
It generally only means the person doing the block won't see the person who blocked them; the blocked person still sees the one who blocked them. Only some sites take it both ways. Lemmy isn't one of them.
Do you know which clients let you tag people? I'm using Jerboa and that feature is not supported
Another app that allows tagging users is Interstellar. The neat thing with Interstellar is it has built in comments consolidation with posts that are cross-posted or are link posts with the same link. Pretty neat because even on a piefed based instance consolidation doesn't work if you're not using the web UI.
I'm not the person you asked, but I do know that Voyager supports user tagging.

Summit also has tagging support
I am on Summit, how was I tagged as scary troll ๐ ?
I think it would be a useful feature
But it is PRIVATE right? Like only I can see it, right?
I think.l it is a nice feature for when I befriend someone here and I can add a tag explaining how we became friends. I have MCI, so the memory is fried (KFB)
Yeah, it's private. You just long press a person's username and hit the "Tag User" button.
Woooww, lemmy is awesome!!!
Your tag is Question Killer, 'cause you killed my question with an answer
Edit: I also just poopoopeepee
This is not a Lemmy feature, it is an app feature. It is also available in piefed, and many piefed apps.
Oh :( so does that mean that all the tags are stored in the app locally and will be lost on reinstall?!
Unsure how the apps actually handle it, but more than likely, unless you are using piefed, in which case it is saved to your account.
Lol thanks. I'm more of a troll troller most of the time. You'll typically find me replying to the most downvotes comment in a thread, telling them why they are dumb and shouldn't comment. I do try to be helpful occasionally though.
So I sound dumb and a troll? Or are you sarcastic?
Also, this tag feature seems to be not related to Lemmy but rather Summit.
No, I wasn't calling you dumb or a troll. Just saying that your tag for me might confuse you in the wild because I'm not normally engaging with nice people like yourself.
Piefed supports tagging as part of the platform. It runs as part of Lemmy, but the instances use a different software like mbin does
You can tag on Boost for Lemmy.
Thunder offers it
