@BaldProphet I never used Reddit all that much. What are badges / flairs supposed to be / do?

They tag a post so its general type can be easily determined. The badges I added are "Help" for threads seeking general advice or asking questions, "Public Aquariums", for posts related to aquariums seen in public places, whether a fish tank in a restaurant or an institution like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and "Show & Tell", for threads showing something off.

@BaldProphet I don't think I get it - how is that different from tags?

Tags are keywords; when they're added to a magazine, content from the Fediverse including those tags gets pulled into the magazine.

So badges are pretty much the same, except they don't pull content from the Fediverse?

A badge is equivalent to a Reddit post flair: https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010513191-Post-Flair

A tag is equivalent to a Twitter (or Mastodon) hashtag: https://www.hashtags.org/how-to/history/what-is-a-hashtag/
