Hi all! I’m totally new to this online format and I’m just wondering… What’s flair, precious? What is it, what does it do, why would I want to set it if I’m not in a workspace that requires at least five pieces of it? Can someone please explain flair in the context of this platform to me? Thanks!

    You can change/define a user’s tag per community in the sidebar.

    For example :

    That’s just your flair, right?

    User tags are indeed a different system, and not something supported by PieFed itself, as far as I can tell. Apps like Voyager and Thunder (which both work with PieFed) have their own user tagging system.

    While a flair is something that a user sets for themselves to be seen by everybody on PieFed, a user tag is something that a user sets for someone else and is only seen by the user who set it. It allows me to tag you as a “Helpful user”. It only appears that way to me, and you appear that way no matter what community I see you in. I can tag an annoying user as a “Troll” and they won’t know unless I tell them.
