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.

    What is the priority for this?

    Better mod tools, scanning uploads to combat illegal images, and ways to combat bad actors in general are needed long before this.

    Tags should be set up in the community settings. That way there is a community specific list to choose from when posting.

      It’s open source, priority comes down to what devs want to work on. Development doesn’t focus on a single feature at a time, but in parallel.

        Yes. That’s obvious.

        I am asking if there is a stated priority on this new feature?

          The dev behind this is fed up with lack of proper spoilers on lemmy. He chose to implement them himself. He is not @dessalines or @nutomic
