Ask Burggit!

Ever had a question you wanted to ask? Get an opinion on something?

Well, here's the place to do it! Ask the community pretty much anything.

Since like half the communities and posts here are NSFW related, can we have a common tagging standard?

I'm seeing different requirements across the communities and it gets frustrating to have to check the rules for every post to make sure I'm fitting in the guidelines.

Different communities have different needs so I don't think it's possible to standardize tags across all of them. Some might not need them, some might not want them.

Not to mention enforcement of said tag system. Burggit is still relatively small and most communities have 1 or 2 mods. It might get stifling to try and enforce a certain tag system site wide as of now. This is why I decided not to enforce one in my community, I don't want my already small 20 member community to feel annoyed at having to follow certain naming schemes.

What we really need is for Lemmy to have a tag system communities can take advantage of. But that's an upstream issue.
