You’ve read it right, flairs are finally here.
No longer will you have to endure cringe and based opinions alike, in a vast and boring sea of flairlessness. No longer will you have to actually read someone’s take, to be able to judge them. I bring you… THE FUNNI COLOURS.
@[email protected] and I have been hard at work on this feature for the last couple months and we’re so glad to finally see it live. There is, however, an asterisk.
For the time being, only users from our instance (lemmy.basedcount.com) can see and set user flairs, as this feature doesn’t propagate through federation. As such, users from other instances (less than half of the [email protected] userbase) won’t notice any changes.
My next project will be bringing support for user flairs to other instances through a browser extension, but that’ll probably take me some time.
Of course, if you want the full PCM experience™️ you can always open an account here (wink wink).
In the meantime, enjoy your funni colours, pcm. Stay based and flair the fuck up.
Wait you’re already able to move your existing account over to another instance now? LETSGOOO
Eh not really, I guess I didn’t word that correctly. There are tools to do that but it’s not natively supported.
Let me change the OP, now that I look at it it’s actually very confusing.
Ahh I see so you’ve meant the community subscriptions actually, right? I mean for some people it can count as a migration, so it’s understandable.
Yeah something like that. Migrating comments and posts would be a pain in the ass and would require admin cooperation.
It’d be a nice feature, but I think the devs have already said it’s not a priority for them to build this.
Yeah and checking out the PR comments, it seems it really would be a huge pain in the ass for them to figure this out.
