Would it help to limit posts to one tag? I mean, the idea of having more than one tag, especially as many as 5, in and of itself, appears to call for the subjective task of deciding what is relevant. Why just today someone dropped by to chide me on my poor tag usage and frankly, I did not even know that tag was available for use!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Is there a comprehensive list of tags somewhere so I can even know what I have to work with?
Theres a link at the bottom of the tag list that says all tags or more tags, somethin like that. those are the established tags. you can write whatever tag you want. I suggest using established tags too if you use new ones. That is one reason why only one tag is no good.
Should mention: I browse steemit on PC, never been logged in on another device so Im just assuming the tag section is viewed the same.
That is the sense I had, thanks for confirming, much appreciated.
I guess we should have asked those who post in the science how they feel about the use of that tag. 😯 I'm not sure I know what would be considered science!
Anyone can create a tag. That's actually one of the great reasons to use tags is that they are dynamic. The drawback, of course, is that if you are the only one using it the chance of your content being found by that tag is unlikely. So you need a few more tags including a currently popular one. That's one of the reasons I think having more than 1 tag is necessary.
Personally, I'm hoping that Steemit, inc. will develop a new system of navigation. Maybe sub-steems similar to subreddits or top level categories with tags.
When you mention asking people who post in science what they think, do you mean in chat? Or should I make a post with that tag asking if raw, unhinged, speculation is welcome or not - or something like that.
I was thinking I should have gotten some input in chat. You're more than welcome to bring it up in a post for discussion. Might be interesting to see what others think.
Right on, that makes complete sense. It did occur to me even, but I'm chat shy. errrr, really. I'm too hyper for chat ...
