I do, only rarely.
Your tag would be @[email protected]
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 @[email protected]:
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).
Some apps let you put a tag on someone's name so anytime you see them, you also see the tag next to their name.
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/tagging or labeling people in apps.
