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

      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 user on here who’s a Jellyfin Roku app developer. I don’t remember their username, but pay attention to their comments when I see the user tag I set for them 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.
