This post will be removed for not being tagged

[-] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Haha, well spotted, I'll tag it for ya!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Why?

[-] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

Tags lets posts be more organized and easy on the eye. Take it as reddits "flairs".

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Why not wait until Lemmy introduces flairs?

I'm pretty sure many people will not see this post hence moderation will need to jump into this.

Is a pinned post, it appears at the top, it's also on the sidebar. Posts without a tag will be requested first to add one and if in 24h they dont do so then it'll be removed. I've been on this platform for 3 years and flairs haven't been added yet.

You aren't going to apply this policy to existing posts, right?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Only to new ones posted after that date. Old posts will remain.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

So is this why people stopped posting here? Seems unnecessarily restrictive.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Is there a list of "tags" we should be referring to? I want to ask the community for help finding a self-hosted alternative to a rather niche application. Would that be [Question] or [Help] or [Recommendation] or what?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It's on the side panel of the sublemmy

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Should discussion posts be labeled other?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

[ChitChat]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Can be either [Other] or like @[email protected] said they can also be [ChitChat] or even [Discussion].
