It'd be nice to be able to tag certain users with a color, emoji, or text. It would help with noticing users that have been helpful/friendly, or users that post certain genres of content.

Yes, we have that. We call it a "note" so look for UI elements with that word.

Oh wow, it's even available through the hover bubble

Editing a user note is currently done via the user's profile page (in the More dropdown). I just tagged you as "Photon Dev" and now whenever I see your username, that will be diplayed alongside. So, now I see this in this community:

Currently, user notes are not exposed to the api (there is a codeberg issue for this iirc) and they don't offer a way to customize the colors (I don't think there is a codeberg issue for this one). You could use custom css to style user notes since they have the css class of user_flair.

I couldn't find an open Codeberg issue for API user notes. I just made one
