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.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sadly not no. I just use a | between items though and shorten the name. Like gr8 cdr | asht

What style is the asshat? One could be intrigued

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Ahhh, all of that makes sense! Thanks!

i have one user tagged as "ate raw pasta until he threw up" because he once wrote in a comment that he did this

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now I have 1 user tagged as "tags users with strange stories".

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

user* singular. i have only tagged one person

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sorry you gotta change it back it's plural now

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I will change it to "tagged a person who ate raw pasta until they vomited" then we don't need to update each other :)

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

omw to untag that other guy

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Past tense. You can't change the past. Checkmate!

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 :)

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

If you see me around, I would be happy if you interact with me over and over (as long as you are nice).

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To my knowledge Lemmy doesn't have user tags. So any tagging will be client specific.

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Ah, nice to know, thanks.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I have no idea if it's client specific. I've only ever used one client.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How does one tag in voyager

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Go to their user page, click … menu in upper right, “edit tag”.

You can also long-press on their username in any comment thread to bring up a menu with "Edit Tag". Saves a few taps.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Alas, I had tags off, apparently.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes it is. I tag on boost. I just found out one of the other ones can tag different colours.
