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!

Fixed some controversial terms: octothorpe

Will the tags of the magazine automatically apply to every post within that magazine?

Hm, that seems like a feature that should exist. Both inbound & outbound tags.
