If so, why and what do you tag them? What fits your bill as to tag and remember someone and to just leave it be?

Oh, bonus question, if you tag people, what am I tagged as? 🥺

    This is what we are talking about, right? Tagging others?

    But the other comments seem to be talking about some kind of labelling. Did Lemmy add a new feature that I’m unaware of?

      Found the answer in the parent thread, thank you @Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club:

      That’s a mention, not a tag. A tag is a private description you save about a user. Only apps have this fearure.

      It’s a little weird that they took a well established term (in social media context: tag, id by which to mention a user, also known as ‘tagging’) and gave it a wholly different meaning (tag: label).

      No, not any I know of. Tagging is also commonly called mentioning here.

      edit: Oh, I think I know what they mean. It’s the labels or badges you can put on people, I think. But that is not a native Lemmy feature. Thunder and Summit have them, for example.

      OP should make clear whether they mean mentioning or labeling people in apps.
