I’m asking for private notes, that only you as a user can see.
Just to exemplify, a similar feature is over at mastodon, where you click on profile and you see an “add note” message, another implementation is over at discord.
It is a really useful feature when needing to remember certain users, like when you are looking at why you blocked someone or for when you interact with certain recurring users.
Is there an extension or feature for this, if not, has it been requested on GitHub, or am I restricted to having to keep a manual list myself?
I think it depends on what client you use. I haven’t seen it in any Lemmy app but you can find Lemmy users with a Mastodon client and add a note, so I guess it’s up to the various clients to implement.
Wait you could log in to a lemmy instance from a mastodon client? Or did you talke that picture from a Mastodon account?
Having said that this is the closest thing I’ve seen to what I want, only problem being that I would need to use a Mastodon UI which doesnt have downvotes.
Also unrelated, but this is the first time I encounter an image on the comments.
You can follow Lemmy users or communities from Mastodon (and a lot of Fediverse services) but you aren’t logging into your Lemmy account from there.
