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
Zealotte@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 212d
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!
SacralPlexus@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 212d
Best I can do until you really act up.
Zealotte@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 212d
Deal, and from your screenshot, I just learned that you can track votes too!
I'm learning so much today.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 212d
Noice. That's some pinky up tagging.
dotslashme@infosec.pub · 3 pts · 212d
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.

What I miss from RES is that the tag used to link to the comment the tag was made on.
StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 212d
Oooh that would be useful
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 212d
This would be awesome!

the_grass_trainer@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 212d
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.
StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 212d
Yeah it was definitely a bizarre experience

theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 212d
Voyager you can assign a tag and a colour to said tag on a per user basis.
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 212d
But I love boost other than this :( Does voyager work with Piefed like boost?
DarkSirrush@piefed.ca · 10 pts · 212d
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.

AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 212d
I'll have to check out Summit!
theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 212d
I believe so but not 100% sure as I haven't dabbled with piefed yet
RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com · 3 pts · 212d
But you can export your account settings which includes blocks and import them into the new account
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 212d
Yes, but this requires no exporting or other actions. Once a user tag is created, that's all that's needed.
frongt@lemmy.zip · 0 pts · 212d
As long as we're wishing, I wish it integrated with the web UI tags.
rotkehle@feddit.org · 8 pts · 212d
didn't know that existed and I'm a boost user for years now ^^
Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 7 pts · 212d
Summit also has tags. It's definitely a great feature.
TabbsTheBat@pawb.social · 4 pts · 212d
Well I learned something new today :3
paultimate14@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 212d
Connect has this too
yakko@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 212d
I accidentally cleared my cache from the first two years on Lemmy, and lost a lot of user tags. 😕
kuro_neko@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 210d
I should add cloud backup functionality.
yakko@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 210d
That would rule tbh
JigglySackles@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 212d
Really wish jerboa had this feature.
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · -14 pts · 212d
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.

I wouldn't know, I'm just going by what they've told me.

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · -9 pts · 212d
I never accused "boost" of anything, just some random users I didn't deign to remember the names of.
jonathan@piefed.social · 11 pts · 212d
For someone who was "pretty sure", you don't actually seem pretty sure of a whole lot.
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 1 pts · 212d
What's with the downvotes? I just shared a funny story and I'm getting a ton of hostility.
GiveOver@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 212d
Internet innit
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 212d
Boost users can tag you any way they want.
real_squids@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 212d
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
TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 212d
Lol sure it was.
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 212d
Well you're tagged
Definitely Nazinow.FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 3 pts · 212d
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.
yakko@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 212d
I've been getting weird aggro from people on here lately, it often feels inorganic and contrived. Something is up.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 211d
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
HotDog7@feddit.online · 0 pts · 212d
We need a /r/LostRedditors, but for the Fediverse.
