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

[โ€“] Aqarius@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days 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

This would be awesome!

[โ€“] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Thunder also has user labels/tags.

[โ€“] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Voyager and connect do too

[โ€“] Zealotte@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 days 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 4 days 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 4 days ago (1 children)

Aww. I like red, but I get it.

Time to start misbehaving!

[โ€“] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Best I can do until you really act up.

[โ€“] Zealotte@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days 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 4 days ago

Noice. That's some pinky up tagging.

[โ€“] dotslashme 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] dotslashme 15 points 4 days ago

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

[โ€“] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 4 days 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 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Right you are, I see it on comments.

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

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.

Yeah it was definitely a bizarre experience

[โ€“] rotkehle@feddit.org 8 points 4 days ago

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

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 4 days ago

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

[โ€“] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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 8 points 4 days 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 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

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

[โ€“] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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!

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 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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 days ago (1 children)

I should add cloud backup functionality.

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

That would rule tbh

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

Well I learned something new today :3

[โ€“] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Really wish jerboa had this feature.
