If so, why and what do you tag them? What fits your bill as to tag and remember someone and to just leave it be?

Oh, bonus question, if you tag people, what am I tagged as? 🥺

Yes. 💜 for my favourite people. 🙂 for people I've interacted with once or twice and would like to interact with more. ⭐ for people that I haven't interacted with but always enjoy their posts and comments. ✊ for similar reasons to the star but I like their politics.

I've also given one person a red flag 🟥 but haven't seen them again. There's a couple more I could probably give red flags to but also I would prefer to see more friendly symbols in my feed than danger warnings.

And seeing as you asked so nicely, I haven't tagged you yet but I think I'll give you a 🙂.

That's a good idea to use emoji. I tag with a short few words describing the thing they commented that gave me a chuckle or frown.

One thing I'm starting to find though is that the yellow emojis are maybe looking a little too much like Reddit style awards at first glance, or at least making me think of them. Might look for purple alternatives or something else that looks a bit more toned down along with a dark theme.

I like your idea. Seems like a good way to be reminded of something random and get a laugh while you're scrolling.

Yeah I could see that I suppose, be great to keep it as far from Reddit as possible. It's worked okay so far for me, nice to personalise users a bit, Zero22xx "emoji tagger" 😁
