    PieFed offers user tagging in both its web UI and in the API so that any app using it could pull from them, although regarding the latter I am not sure which ones actually do or not (Mlwm reportedly does, surely I would think that Blorp would as it touts itself as offering greatest compatibility with PieFed, etc.).

      Blorp dev here. Blorp does have user tagging, but it actually stores all that data client side. I had no idea PieFed had user tagging built in. It would be nice to integrate with the PieFed API, but it would be a little tricky.

      Currently, if you tag a user in Blorp, that tag is stored at the app level. You can login to your app with a Lemmy and a PieFed account simultaneously. If you tag a user from your PieFed account, you will still see that user tag after you switch to your Lemmy account.

      If we did tagging at account level instead of app level, the user tags you see would change base on which account you switch to.

        Which might even be useful, but yeah could also be confusing, though so too could someone coming to Blorp from the web UI… it’s complicated for sure. Possibly the ideal might be to either have separate behaviors for Lemmy vs. PieFed accounts, or an option to keep them all mirrored/synched up.

      Thank you so much. I have now tagged you “helpful” and it shows up everywhere except for this exact comment. Weird. maybe it just takes some time to propagate, although I don’t see why.

        If you are using the web UI, does refreshing the page help?

        Regardless, I am glad to be helpful, some of the time (hopefully more often than the opposite:-P).
