Will there ever be support for flairs on posts and users?
Will there ever be support for flairs on posts and users?
Just curious, I don't know if this feature would be in fedecans or lemmy's court to implement. I just know that it would be quite helpful to further develop communities.
If so, I hope it works with old.lemmy. I can't stand any other formats and it already frustrates me that certain features don't work with this format.
It would be up to Lemmy developers to implement flairs, and then the Mlmym developers to make them visible on the interface that is displayed when you go to
old.lemmy.ca. If we (Fedecan) were to try and implement something just for ourselves, it wouldn't be that helpful since only our users would be able to see and set the flairs.It looks like post flairs are on the way though! I see this merge from last week for "finish adding post tags"

User flairs will likely come later, but it's planned from what I can tell. The issue was kept open:

Having the flairs be displayed in the
oldinterface may take some time, since that project seems to see slower development. If someone has experience in the 'Go' programming language, they can help implement it to speed things upGlad to see its in the pipeline at least! Fingers crossed the old interface keeps on being updated. It is honestly the only thing that has been making me use lemmy.ca. I don't like change. The day reddit drops the old format, is the day I might finally stop using reddit altogether.
Its my weird hill I'm choosing to die on.
That is totally fair :)
You also mentioned that certain features aren't available on
old.lemmy.ca. What features were those? I'll see if I can find anything about it
