Flair would be nice, but I think Lemmy should do it its own way with hashtags. It would be cool to search for hashtags within specific communities, subscribed communities, entire instances, and all instances.
Plz no
I hate hashtags, have always hated them and could never use them on my favor. They are not consistent AT ALL. For me, it is much easier to simply search for keywords.
Sounds like what you want is better search. What do hashtags have to do with that?
I was just thinking that the hashtag functionality is probably under the hood somewhere and it could be used to identify and sort certain types of posts.
Agreed that flair would be nice. Over in the baseball subreddit, it's helpful to see people's favorite team when reading their comment for context. It helps determine if the commenter is making a dumb joke ripping on their own team or if they're a fan of a rival team salty about a loss or something.
