How important are flairs? (beehaw.org)

How important are reddit-style flairs for people? There's the raised issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317 which has it listed as a far-future, with questions as far as how to handle federation.

Personally, having at least an initial implementation done on a community level would be largely sufficient, with expansion to instance-wide being optional. The situation I've found most useful, personally, is sports-related groups with your favored team being your flair. This gives context to comments without constantly having to say "as a X fan"

Indeed, that's right. This function is currently disabled to avoid complications. I need to temporarily hide the form field. The badge defines a magazine owner, and once marked, it appears next to the title, providing additional filtering options within the magazine.
