This is where LLMs like GPT should be applied. Parse a post and recommend tags based on the content, allow the user to just select which ones to use. This is how we leverage these models.
The mastodon fedi would cry over what you're saying, but yes we really need suggestion algos in the fedi for it to be successful.
No. The best way to target your audience is to pick your tags manually. If you ask an AI what is the best tag then it will answer you "Trump", pick it and surely your post will be discovered.
The thing is if you train your AI to return the right tags, then it means that you ALREADY know the tags yourself. Therefore you can already do it yourself.
@PabloDiscobar Or, it could do both, AI can recommend you tags, but you can select or enter in a custom tag.
These can either be directly added using the “pound” sign, as in #KbinMeta
Or tag it with the hash sign, if you speak British English. Hence 'hashtag'.
Fun fact: the # symbol is called an octothorpe.
£ is a symbol for currency (Great British Pound or "pound")
lb is a non SI symbol for weight (pound or 0.454kg)
# is a hash
Systems need ways to recognise tags, prefixing them with a symbol is helpful for computers. Using # as the prefix makes it a hashtag #technicallycorrect
Tell us you're under 30
I wish, just British.
£ is The Pound to British people, so telling people to press pound for # when you mean hash would be deeply confusing.
It would be like deciding § is now the called the Euro and then telling countries that use € they are weird/young.
Speak for yourself please, I wouldn't find it deeply confusing.
now I'm wondering why us Americans decided to start calling # a pound sign, when the original name was octothorpe
time to get lost in Wikipedia
here are some snippets:
It is believed that the symbol traces its origins to the symbol ℔ an abbreviation of the Roman term libra pondo, which translates as "pound weight"
A 1917 manual distinguishes between two uses of the sign: "number (written before a figure)" and "pounds (written after a figure)". The use of the phrase "pound sign" to refer to this symbol is found from 1932 in U.S. usage. The term hash sign is found in South African writings from the late 1960s and from other non-North-American sources in the 1970s.
I had no idea that # was going to cause so much controversy. I will say that pound is much more efficient than octothorpe.
Please enter your birthday followed by the octothorpe.
It doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Woah, octothorpe is so much cooler.
Will the tags of the magazine automatically apply to every post within that magazine?
@RheingoldRiver @asteroidrainfall@kbin.social not that I’m aware of.
Hm, that seems like a feature that should exist. Both inbound & outbound tags.
Btw, can we personalize what tags appear in the Microblog page of a magazine?
I've noticed that only posts tagged "Europe" show up there (because of the name of the magazine), what if I want other countries to show up too?
Also, is there a way to turn off notifications for the Microblog posts, but allow notifications for Threads?
Also also, do tags apply for threads in a magazine, or are those just useless for now? (I'm under the impression that they don't work at all lol)
Btw, can we personalize what tags appear in the Microblog page of a magazine?
Yes, owner of the magazine should be able to do that.
This might sound like a stupid question, but how do I do that exactly?
In your magazine’s settings page, currently titled “Magazine Panel”, there’s a page called “Tags”. There, you can add any tags that you want associated with your magazine.
I have set up a few custom tags for my magazine, /m/bsg, if you want to see it in action.
Edit:
Some wrote up a nice guide for the moderator features on KBin:

I feel like a complete clown, lmao.
I can't tell you how many times I hovered that button but never figured it was a button. I don't know why, but I figured it was just a header for the sidebar. I kept clicking and looking over the drop-down menu from the settings icon/gear icon, and wondering why there's nothing but display-related settings there.
Thank you!
I was wondering what they are for. Will set up in our magazine.
