- Yes. A community mod or admin is able to add flair to somebody else's post. This is especially useful when the OP is not on a piefed instance and unable to use flair at all. One caveat to this is that if the community is from a lemmy instance, the mod-assigned flair will not federate out to other piefed instances. You should see a little flair icon on the post previews in your community (next to the three dots menu) that opens a flair assignment menu.
- I don't remember there being a limit to flair for the community, and yes, all of them will be shown. So, it makes sense to keep the flair list somewhat limited in scope with broad categories. Something like hashtags make more sense for more specific categories. The community with the most flair that I know of is !fediverse@piefed.social if you want to see what a lot of flair looks like.
- I actually don't know. I do know that tags from microblog posts are picked up, but I don't know about the body of piefed or lemmy posts.
PieFed help
It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

Be kind! We're all learning
Thanks. I know a mod can add flair but I mean hashtags like #actionmovies, #michaelmadsen etc.
Flair (e.g. Full Movie, Meta etc) will be much more limited.
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.
Thanks!
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. :)
Re: 3. No. For sending, they need to be in that tags form field, and for receiving, they need to have been in the ActivityPub "tags": {"type": "hashtag"} section for a post. For both directions, PieFed isn't regexing any text anywhere to look for something that might be a tag.

Thanks for the info.
