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

    They might make sense for a micro-blogging system that never thought beforehand about how to group topics and help you find content, but they don’t make sense for a link-aggregator that already groups topics into communities. Lemmy’s search bar probably already works as well as hashtags do for finding content.

    Oh you know Diaspora, Friendica or Hubzilla? These are all macro-blogging platforms where hashtags are part of the basic concept. Used correctly, hashtags can be very helpful in finding interesting content.
