No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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?

You can if you code it. It's a simple user script that associates a note with a name and puts it in browser storage and then appends it to their name. I was making it but I stopped because I had work to do and had no time to play with browser add-ons.

Problem is I haven't coded a single thing in my life, while I could technically made something I much prefer using something already made by someone who knows what he is doing

I will try to seaech what you say to see if I can do something quickly, but I will probably surrender if it's not just replicating an online tutorial.

I can code it easily in a few hours but I'm working my ass off right now to get some company stuff done. If you can spare a few dozen bucks I can save a few hours this week for it. You can also try and make it yourself. I've made similar plugins and posted them on [email protected]. (i am @God there). If you check out my code and that of others, I'm sure you'll have a lot of reference for it.

If no one else has made it, I already started the add-on but I've been too busy to finish it. If no one else does, I will probably build it for myself and publish it there in a few weeks when my work gives me some time for hobby coding.

edit: if you do take a look

this is very simple, here, check out the mutation observer, the username grabber, the function that appends a tag to the username, it's already there

https://sh.itjust.works/post/89693

and to do the custom tags, you'll need to check out how to use localStorage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage

that's about it, you can trigger opening the tag modification with a simple window prompt https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/prompt

and you'd append a button that opens the prompt when you tap on a username's tag or icon that indicates that there's none. the button would open the prompt through an event listener: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener

modifying colors is the simplest part with inline css: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/inline-style-in-html/, it can also be stored in the localStorage.
