For a long time, users have been able to submit microblog-style posts to link-aggregator subs (a.k.a. subcommunity, community, magazine, etc.). Some platforms such as mbin require you to select one for your post. Previously, I’ve thought this sub selection as a special hashtag for the post. However, I’ve recently been reminded that posts actually show up in communities as full-on threads. So what do you (or the threadi gods) consider to be proper etiquette in selecting a proper sub to make your microblog post to? There’s always !random, but that feels kinda worthless…

    Nope. Just tried on moist.catsweat.com and it says “Please select an item in the list” for the “Select Magazine” box if you try to post something and leave that empty.

      I guess you guys who care about it could drop a feature request on Github for that.
