It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

  1. Can a mod add tags to someone else's post?

  2. How many tags are possible and will be shown?
    I just started a movie community, with tags for actors etc already at ~30. Potentially that could increase to... hundreds? More?
    How many will display? Will it always display all of them or can it be hidden /drop down, like spoiler text? Perhaps partially, e.g. the top tags are shown by default but you have to click "Expand" to see the rest.

  3. What about tags in places other than the Piefed tags entry field? E.g. in post body, comments etc. Are they... "recognized" / "effective"?

  4. Dammit, I had one more, can't remember it now.

Apologies for reading too quickly. I believe that tags are solely up to the OP and can't be modified by the mod or admin. As for question 2, when it comes to many different tags, that shouldn't be a problem really. Only the 30 (I think) most-used are displayed in the sidebar, but there could be many, many more. Here are all the tags used so far on piefed.social for instance.

Thanks.

Would it be possible to expand or link to a community's remaining tags, beyond the top 30?

It would certainly be possible, but I don't think there is a way to do so right now. I would imagine the most straightforward way of doing this would be to have a page for the community that lists the tags. So, you could have:

https://piefed.social/c/action_movies/tags

and that would bring you to a page with all the tags that have been used in that community. Maybe a button on the sidebar somewhere to take the user to that page.

I went ahead and made a codeberg issue for the idea.

That codeberg issue is now fixed btw - I added a screenshot there to show what it'll look like when the code is deployed to piefed.social.

Cool, thanks! Already working for me on my community on piefed.social. :)
