Using forum tags more?

#1

I wanted to share @CreativeCoder's idea:

so we have more categories at the moment. but I was just thinking that we could use categories more for general browsing, and then if we wanted to look for something more specific we could click on a tag like CreativeCoder said. What do you think? :blush:

– my personal view is using category for broader ideas and then more specific things with tags, after seeing this.

I was watching first post #helpwithcode. But now it's unusable. So now I'm watching a bunch of categories.

Yes, tags should be used more. They could be very helpful :D

#4

True! Is there a tag for GTs? That'd be really helpful.

Hey, t1, thanks for adding to my idea :)

Now that there's more categories, it's not as big of a deal, but it still can be used for more specific types of topics, like clubs, general topics, etc.

I'd love to see this happen in the future.

This is a really good idea!

Yep, it is #general_topic. There are 148 topics already using it.

I was thinking about this after @CreativeCoder's suggestion for anyone who wanted to be able to take action on tags (e.g. mute, set to tracking etc). At the moment there are 197 topics or so using #general_topic and 10 using just #generaltopic::tag, so I am going to move them all to general_topic

I am looking at the tags page at the moment to see if there are any major tags that we could make use of too.

— I see #collab (346 topics) and #collabs (222 topics), as an example, I could change them all to #collab though I am not sure if it would make much of a difference to anyone.
