Fellow Lemmy users,
Some days ago, I made a post asking for feedback on adding a tag system to Lemmy. Thank you to everyone who shared thoughts and suggestions!
After reading through the responses, I’ve written up a new RFC trying to incorporate the different ideas:
I’ll repeat the message from last time in case someone has additional ideas to contribute.
The Lemmy development team is considering adding a new tag system that would allow us to tag posts with keywords. This could make it easier to search for and find content on Lemmy.
Before implementing this, the team would like more feedback from users.
Please share your thoughts on whether you’d find a tag system useful, and if so, how you’d want it implemented. The dev team reads all feedback and will use it to decide how to proceed.
You can comment or vote here or on the GitHub issues to provide input. You can vote on whether or not you want the feature, and give opinions on the different implementations, so we can see which proposals are most popular.
Thanks for helping shape Lemmy! This is our community, so please speak up.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Eager to get everyone’s perspectives on this proposed new feature!
Each one of those features I mentioned is a lot of work. I don’t want to just throw ideas out and expect them to magically happen!
I haven’t looked at the Lemmy codebase. Are there plans for an API or extension framework? That could allow other devs to implement features while the core devs focus on performance and security.
