      As for what they are, the green text in my screenshot.

      How depends on how you access Lemmy. In my client, Connect, I expand a comment, tap the three dots to the right of it, and click “add user note.”

        Aww, sadly I’m iOS and not Android, so I can’t use Connect nor I guess user notes.

          I can’t comment on your particular client, but I suspect most of them should support it in some form.

          It looks like Thunder is available for Android and iOS. I dont really use it but I do have it installed, so I took a look. It has a “user label” function that looks pretty similar and is added through the same basic process.

          Note that I am very much not an expert on Lemmy and even less so on anything Apple, but I bet a way can be found! And if not you always have the option of submitting a feature request to the developer of whatever app you do use.

          Good luck!

          I’ve never been so proud of a title!

          It’s great that you got it working; hopefully it serves you well. I’ve primarily used it to mark people who aren’t worth an argument to me (“argues in bad faith”) and people with whom it’s extra worth engaging ("seems clever, " “shares a fandom,” in a few rare cases just their first name to make it stand out if it’s a friend but I didn’t notice the username).

          Tbh I’ve only got, like … Five user notes.

          edit: One more now!

          Note for user "zurchpet" that teases about the content of their note on me
