I assigned myself one of these things but why do they exist?

Is that client-specific? I bounce between Voyager and Jerboa for reasons. Voyager has user tags, and I have some people tagged as “Fave” there, but I can’t find that in Jerboa.

I rarely use the web interface, and haven’t looked there.

I have no idea if it’s client specific. I’ve only ever used one client.
To my knowledge Lemmy doesn’t have user tags. So any tagging will be client specific.
Ah, nice to know, thanks.
How does one tag in voyager
Go to their user page, click … menu in upper right, “edit user tag”.
You can also long-press on their username in any comment thread to bring up a menu with “Edit Tag”. Saves a few taps.
Alas, I had tags off, apparently.
Yes it is. I tag on boost. I just found out one of the other ones can tag different colours.
