One of the things I've noticed when making threads is there just aren't' enough categories. People lump stuff into multiple other categories where they don't belong because where they do belong isn't in the list of categories. Sure you can put your post in that category but then after the first 15-30 minutes no one will find it. There really needs to be more categories and better organization of them. Maybe a category/subcategory/sub-subcategory system.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If you add a tag that isn't created, it's auto-generated ...
I hardly see why people are even taking steemit as a tag , it's not as if they are getting any kind of exposure out of it with the hundreds of posts flowing every hours using it.
@complexring, the problem is that people aren't creating or viewing lesser known tags. It's a vicious cycle. People want to be heard, so they post in a trending tag, and encourage behavior that is damaging to Steemit. Instead of posting and curating what we like, users hop on the bandwagon.
I've added many tags and they never show up on the list. The other day I did one in games, BSG, and I think simulator but those aren't on the list even now. I've also noticed that tags that used to be in the list aren't there anymore. Steemthought is no longer there and I've put stuff in it when it was.
You might used trending pages in simulator. But there are no trending in that category.
You should check the new posts like this:
https://steemit.com/created/simulator
https://steemit.com/created/bsg
I have just discovered the tags are case sensitive. If you try it with BSG it shows nothing.
I think it will be much easier in the future, but now we only have this.
I might be able to find a post that way but no one else even knows to look for it because they aren't on the category list.
