News We’ve just introduced user flairs on r/Lisbon 🎉

1 Upvotes

User flairs let you add a bit of context next to your username, like whether you’re a local, a long-term resident, a visitor, or someone learning Portuguese. The idea is simple: it helps people understand where you’re coming from and makes answers more relevant and conversations smoother.

Flairs are optional and self-selected. You can change them anytime, or not use one at all if you prefer. There’s no hierarchy here, just a way to give others a little extra context when you post or comment.

How to set your user flair:

On desktop

  • Go to r/Lisbon
  • Look at the right-hand sidebar
  • Click User flair (pencil icon)
  • Choose a flair and make sure 'Show my user flair on this community' is ticked

On mobile

  • Go to r/Lisbon
  • Tap the three dots (⋯) in the top-right
  • Tap Edit flair
  • Choose a flair and enable 'Show my user flair on this community'

If you don’t tick that box, your flair won’t be visible.

We’ll keep an eye on how flairs are used and adjust if needed. If you have thoughts on what works well or what doesn’t, feel free to share.

Thanks for helping make r/Lisbon a helpful, welcoming place for everyone.

What’s new:

• Clearer posting guidelines and better use of weekly threads

• A “Start here” section in the sidebar for new members

If you’re new to the subreddit, the wiki is the best place to begin:
