Found the answer in the parent thread, thank you @Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club:

That’s a mention, not a tag. A tag is a private description you save about a user. Only apps have this fearure.

It’s a little weird that they took a well established term (in social media context: tag, id by which to mention a user, also known as ‘tagging’) and gave it a wholly different meaning (tag: label).

This is what we are talking about, right? Tagging others?

But the other comments seem to be talking about some kind of labelling. Did Lemmy add a new feature that I’m unaware of?
