On KBin we have the ability to add tags to posts. These can either be directly added using the ~~“pound” sign~~ octothorpe, as in #KbinMeta. You can also add tags using the “Tags” field when creating an article, link, or photo. The second method will append the tags to the end of the post when the post is federated.

This is invaluable for your post to be seen on other platforms, especially those without any algorithms, such as Mastodon.

KBin magazines can also have tags associated with them. This will associate content from the Fediverse that uses those tags with the magazine. Also, very useful for smaller magazines.

If you want to view content related to a specific tag, you can visit <Kbin instance>/tag/<name of tag>, ie: https://kbin.social/tag/kbin

Pleas tag you posts!

Edit:
Fixed some controversial terms: octothorpe

This is where LLMs like GPT should be applied. Parse a post and recommend tags based on the content, allow the user to just select which ones to use. This is how we leverage these models.

Or tag it with the hash sign, if you speak British English. Hence 'hashtag'.

Fun fact: the # symbol is called an octothorpe.
