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?

It’s on the side panel of the sublemmy

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

Should discussion posts be labeled other?

[ChitChat]

Zoe8338, 6 months ago

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

You aren't going to apply this policy to existing posts, right?https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/80aab717-5189-4f20-bd6a-8c96ea1345db.png

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

Why?

Zoe8338, 6 months ago

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

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.

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