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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
"Have you tagged"? These tags are by users, and not federated or shared between Boost users. If they wanted to tag you, they didn't have to try, it's built into boost (but not shared like you may be implying)
Boost is just an app, I don't think there's a specific "they" here.. it's not even an instance. You're on the community for Boost, the Android app. You're basically saying that all of us here told you that.

Thunder also has user labels/tags.
Voyager and connect do too
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.

Aww. I like red, but I get it.
Time to start misbehaving!
Best I can do until you really act up.
Deal, and from your screenshot, I just learned that you can track votes too!
I'm learning so much today.
Noice. That's some pinky up tagging.
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.

Right you are, I see it on comments.
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.
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!
It's a simple life, but it's mine

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.
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.
Voyager you can assign a tag and a colour to said tag on a per user basis.
But I love boost other than this :( Does voyager work with Piefed like boost?
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.

I'll have to check out Summit!
I believe so but not 100% sure as I haven't dabbled with piefed yet
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.
As long as we're wishing, I wish it integrated with the web UI tags.
didn't know that existed and I'm a boost user for years now ^^
Summit also has tags. It's definitely a great feature.
Connect has this too
I accidentally cleared my cache from the first two years on Lemmy, and lost a lot of user tags. 😕
I should add cloud backup functionality.
That would rule tbh
Well I learned something new today :3
Really wish jerboa had this feature.
Pretty sure some boost users tried to have me tagged as a Nazi at one point. Might have been because of my support of Ukraine.
"Have you tagged"? These tags are by users, and not federated or shared between Boost users. If they wanted to tag you, they didn't have to try, it's built into boost (but not shared like you may be implying)
I wouldn't know, I'm just going by what they've told me.
Boost is just an app, I don't think there's a specific "they" here.. it's not even an instance. You're on the community for Boost, the Android app. You're basically saying that all of us here told you that.
I never accused "boost" of anything, just some random users I didn't deign to remember the names of.
For someone who was "pretty sure", you don't actually seem pretty sure of a whole lot.
What's with the downvotes? I just shared a funny story and I'm getting a ton of hostility.
Internet innit
Boost users can tag you any way they want.
Well you're tagged
Definitely Nazinow.The only thing you know about me is I support Ukraine and you tag me as a Nazi, that tells people more about you than me.
It's equivalent to one user placing a sticky note on your back only one said user can see. If you're good at memorizing usernames it's the same shit
Lol sure it was.
I've been getting weird aggro from people on here lately, it often feels inorganic and contrived. Something is up.
Same. I've been thinking about seeing if it's a specific time of day or instance it's coming from, but I'm lazy
We need a /r/LostRedditors, but for the Fediverse.
