Thunder also has user labels/tags.

[โ€“] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Voyager and connect do too

[โ€“] Zealotte@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm using Voyager, and I thought "we have that?"

Turns out you have to turn the feature on in the settings.

Thanks for the heads-up, person who is getting tagged.

[โ€“] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I like the color coding too. People who misbehave get red tags so I know without even reading the tag to expect shenanigans. Excellent humans get a green tag.

[โ€“] Zealotte@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aww. I like red, but I get it.

Time to start misbehaving!

[โ€“] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Best I can do until you really act up.

[โ€“] Zealotte@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Deal, and from your screenshot, I just learned that you can track votes too!

I'm learning so much today.

[โ€“] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Noice. That's some pinky up tagging.

[โ€“] dotslashme@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's a good feature, I just wish I knew how to make it appear on posts and comments.

I think you nailed the most passive-agressive way to get your point across. Thanks for the chuckle.

[โ€“] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure about posts as I guess I haven't tagged anyone, and then seen a post from them. On comments, tho, it automatically appears right under the username for me.

[โ€“] dotslashme@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right you are, I see it on comments.

[โ€“] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Just tested using OP, and it doesn't seem to appear on the post. I'm tired & going to sleep, but will test more later, and submit a bug report if appropriate.

[โ€“] Aqarius@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What I miss from RES is that the tag used to link to the comment the tag was made on.

Oooh that would be useful

[โ€“] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

This would be awesome!

[โ€“] flatplutosociety@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's a simple life, but it's mine

[โ€“] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hahaha I know exactly who this is talking about. They hallucinate sources and hang onto issues from 10+ years ago that were solved within a year after they happen.

You'll commonly find this guy in any Gaben or steam thread. Definitely try having a conversation with this one, it's entertaining

Yeah it was definitely a bizarre experience

I wonder if they're ai and if you told them "not to hallucinate" if they'd be able to give you what you asked for.

[โ€“] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Same. Also makes it easier if I change instances in the future. Everyone I block gets a tag so I know in the future. I just wish I could change the green background to whatever color I want, on a per tag basis.

[โ€“] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Voyager you can assign a tag and a colour to said tag on a per user basis.

[โ€“] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

But I love boost other than this :( Does voyager work with Piefed like boost?

[โ€“] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yes* but voyager has other issues that haven't been addressed (especially with piefed), and they have bad updates like hijacking the share button to their own instance instead of the one you are on, or the original post's instance.

Edit: Summit supports custom tag colours per user though!

[โ€“] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

I'll have to check out Summit!

I believe so but not 100% sure as I haven't dabbled with piefed yet

[โ€“] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But you can export your account settings which includes blocks and import them into the new account

[โ€“] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, but this requires no exporting or other actions. Once a user tag is created, that's all that's needed.

didn't know that existed and I'm a boost user for years now ^^

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 2 months ago

Summit also has tags. It's definitely a great feature.

[โ€“] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago

Well I learned something new today :3

[โ€“] paultimate14@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[โ€“] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I accidentally cleared my cache from the first two years on Lemmy, and lost a lot of user tags. ๐Ÿ˜•

[โ€“] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I should add cloud backup functionality.

[โ€“] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

That would rule tbh

[โ€“] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Really wish jerboa had this feature.
