Request for Feedback: New Tag System for Lemmy (github.com)

Fellow Lemmy users,

The Lemmy development team is considering adding a new tag system that would allow us to tag posts with keywords. This could make it easier to search for and find content on Lemmy.

Before implementing this, the team would like our feedback as users. Specifically:

Do you think having post tags would be helpful on Lemmy? Why or why not?
How should tags be displayed and integrated into Lemmy?

Please share your thoughts on whether you'd find a tag system useful, and if so, how you'd want it implemented. The dev team reads the feedback and will use it to decide how to proceed.

To give your input, you can comment or vote here or on the GitHub issue[^1]. You can vote whether or not you want the feature, and the different implementations, so we can see which is the most popular.

Thanks for helping shape Lemmy! This is our community, so please speak up.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

It's a good idea.

I would say that so long as communities are governing their own tags but it's somehow monitored to make sure two tags don't mean the same thing it could be a real positive, especially for support topics etc.
