Similar post was made on the .world lemmy community but I banned from there and some people don’t federate world so I though I’d ask here too to see how the answers differ.

fossilesque is a big one for me that I didn’t see in the .world post

    I’m not very good at remembering peoples inside-joke Lemmy handles that mean nothing to me. I liberally use user tags to keep track of people, most often people I want to warn future-self away from engaging with so I don’t waste my time. Racists, bigots, trolls, sea lions, etc.

        Probably one of the apps. I use the web browser version because I have been classically conditioned to loathe installing apps on my phone.

          i tried it and didn’t find it any more useful than browsing lemmy with firefox and i keep asking why others use it in case i’m missing something, but no one ever responds to my question.

        It’s a feature of the Voyager app and from what I can gather, at least some other apps too.

        You have to turn the feature on in settings, then just click into the user profile right next to where one would block a person, there’s an option to apply a user tag.

            No, they’re for you as the user only.

            I mostly use them to 1) track interesting people like there’s a guy on here who’s a Jellyfin Roku app developer. I don’t remember his name, but pay attention to his comments when I see his tag. 2) people who are bad faith trolls whose usernames I won’t remember but don’t want to get sucked into investing time answering their questions when they’ll just be racist asshats in response.

    It’s always pretty hard to forget “satansmaggotycumfart”. I don’t really remember much of what they post but the name is always a trip.

      From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty much what one would expect from a user named “satansmaggotycumfart”; the Critique of Pure Reason as a lived experience rather than a philosophical exercise.

    I like to tag all the users who pile on me as alts so I can keep track of them all. It’s funny how many people think they’re being sneaky by using alts to have “multiple accounts” disagree with you, as if that has any effect.

    Not a lemmy user to my knowledge, but for a while I kept finding various social media accounts for a specific user.

    They were (maybe still are? No clue) a very active and knowledged user of cplusplus.com, and we had some mild interactions over time.

    Eventually, for some unknown reasons I got suggested its YouTube channel with some Minecraft videos, its GitHub account, and I found some comments of theirs on some Reddit threads here and there.

    They now work for a software development house of a relatively obscure product that I have used before.

    I regularly see a surprising amount of lemmy neighbours by their names, but not by their profile pictures, as voyager does not support showing them

    I added the tag “tired” to somebody in one of those threads where people were talking about how to add tags to people, and I’ve completely forgotten why.

    But, I see them every once in a while and have an “oh yeah, you” moment.
