Comment on Introducing user flairs (only for lemmy.basedcount.com users)

Another option may be a post where users on other instances may be able to flair up with a command. For example, !flairup libleft
This should theoretically work with all ActivityPub instances

Yeah but the problem would be that they wouldn’t be able to view those flairs. The only reason you (and other lemmy.basedcount.com users) can see them is because our instance is using a modified version of the frontend built by yours truly.
The regular frontend that everyone else runs has no idea of what a “flair” is.
So at that point it’s probably easier to put both the flair picker and the code to “view” everyone’s flairs in a single browser extension, that people who want to see flairs can download.
