Is there an interest to develop a post tagging feature? I remember seeing an issue about it some time ago, but I can’t find it anymore so it’s possible I’m making this up.

A post tag would be defined as a “subtitle” of the post inserted by a mod of the community (or an admin) after the post is published, with the purpose of categorizing or adding flair to the community post. It would be displayed in the post listing alongside the title in a smaller font, inside a bordered box, reddit style.

Possible secondary additions could be:

  • Letting the user tag his post freely
  • Letting the user select a tag from a mod-defined list to be applied

    Moderation need not be a task left only to admins; Slashdot has a meritocratic system of enlisting moderators. Another option could be elected moderators. Users can also be enlisted in a limited sense to perform some roles.

    I get that Reddit gained popularity from making use of an entrepreneurial settler-colonist mindset in regard to community development, but it needn’t be the only means of cultivating a community.

    Tildes.net seems to take the approach of having communities each with their own set of tags. Seems like that’s what you’re going for, but I feel that having federation is redundant.
