I joined mastodon today because the CEO of #tumblr had a complete meltdown recently when people called him out for deleting a trans woman's blog because she posted a transition timeline. The vibes were definitely off, just doesn't feel like a safe place right now. I'd love to follow more #trans and #queer folks on here! This is my second social media account (third if you count myspace. omg should I go back to myspace??) so I need all the help I can get with navigating this place.
@asaflowerblossoms I searched for #tags that interested me and searched for accounts some people I already followed might have - then extended who I follow from their reposts
I am still optimistic that the #Fediverse will eventually proof to be the best social network to connect special interest communities that currently disintegrate on the birdsite.
People just need to keep in mind that THEY have to replace the algorithm that used to drive the conversations, which means #BOOSTING generously and putting some effort into #tags for improving findability.
And don’t forget to sponsor your instance, which is a much better deal than having your attention monetised.

📷 Ça ne va pas être de la grande photo, mais hier j’ai profité de la fermeture de beaucoup de commerces pour me balader dans les rues habituellement bondées. Je savais qu’il y avait beaucoup de tags de rideaux d’enseignes inspirés par des animes, surtout dans le 13ème, mais la quantité m’a surpris : je dois ici me limiter à un seul auteur et une thématique Dragon Ball 😀 Ceux de Karim le H sont plutôt réussis (j’ai glissé un intrus). #streetart#tags#art#graffiti#paris#photo#photography
Question: I migrated to Mastodon from Twitter about 6 months ago. When I came here, the advice I read over and again was to use tags to find interesting posts and people. But I see so few people using tags. Why? Are they not useful after a certain time on the platform?
One of my holy grail software quests is a community tagging (aka #folksonomy) plugin for #WordPress. The idea is that users/readers could add #tags to posts and/or images.
I love the design choice of Threads to hide the # symbol in #tags. It’s really nice to not see posts junked up continuously with a symbol that is mostly unnecessary.
They just color the text differently and it works great.
Now, I would assume there need to be accessibility considerations as well to make sure everyone will know what is a tag and what isn’t. But wow does the Don feel noisy by comparison (on this one factor).
Then I found out that different programs have different places where they store this information.
Some use the image's embedded data (EXIF etc.).
👍 You can move the file around and the information doesn't get lost.
👎 Not all image/media types support this option
👎 The file itself gets modified, so also the timestamp
If you want your fediverse posts to be seen by more people interested in their subjects, or you want to find and talk to more people interested in the subjects you post about, hashtags are your friend. You can add them after the body of your posts, or #hashtag words in the post itself.
Dites moi les gens qui utilisent les favoris dans #firefox ET qui y mett(ai)ent des étiquettes (#tags). Avez-vous vu disparaitre l'interface qui permet, justement, de mettre ces étiquettes ?
The #AppleScript dictionary in #NeoFinder has been expanded to give you read and write access to the #Finder#Tags (aka Finder keywords) and the color labels of NeoFinder.
@irace@mgs Bryan, from the About page. Maybe you can find a tag that will get you what you’re after?
“You can follow along with everything on Threads or Xitter or via RSS. If you're interested in certain topics, those are segmented by #tags – and each has their own page as well as RSS feed. (For example, here's the feed for posts about Apple.)”
Can magazine tags be applied to all the content posted in that magazine?
As far as I can tell, magazine tags are mainly used when searching for magazines, and maybe for determining related magazines....
