On KBin we have the ability to add tags to posts. These can either be directly added using the “pound” sign octothorpe, as in #KbinMeta. You can also add tags using the “Tags” field when creating an article, link, or photo. The second method will append the tags to the end of the post when the post is federated.

This is invaluable for your post to be seen on other platforms, especially those without any algorithms, such as Mastodon.

KBin magazines can also have tags associated with them. This will associate content from the Fediverse that uses those tags with the magazine. Also, very useful for smaller magazines.

If you want to view content related to a specific tag, you can visit <Kbin instance>/tag/<name of tag>, ie: https://kbin.social/tag/kbin

Pleas tag you posts!

Edit:
Fixed some controversial terms: octothorpe

    How would we do this on lemmy?

    [#KbinMeta](https://kbin.social/tag/KbinMeta)

    This is what I see when I look at your post. So I would have to remember this format to use it on lemmy? Or does just typing #KbinMeta work without the hyperlink? I’m also on the jerboa app if that changes things.
