One thing I miss most about PCM at reddit was the need to flair up. Is there an equivalent here?

I ran through the political compass test and took a screenshot of my result to use as my user avatar. Is there a better way?

Yeah we all miss flairs. They will be here eventually, that I can promise. We are working on forking the Lemmy codebase and modifying it to our needs, which includes adding a service on the side to make flairs work. We are halfway through but unfortunately @[email protected] , who was working on the server side, got caught up with work, school and life in general so he had to take a break on his side.

When we do add them, they will at first work only for people with accounts on our instance (like yourself) but not for people coming from other instances. I have plans to write some code to make it work on other instances, but this is all pretty half assed as modifying the lemmy codebase proper is a massive undertaking (and would require approval from the developers of the project).
