Please tag your post. It will be removed if left untagged for an extended time.
Posts in this community must be food/cooking related and must have one of the “tags” below in the title.
We would like the use and number of tags to grow organically. For now, feel free to use a tag that isn’t listed if you think it makes sense to do so. We are encouraging using tags to help organize and make browsing easier. As time goes on and users get used to tagging, we may be more strict but for now please use your best judgement. We will ask you to add a tag if you forget and we reserve the right to remove posts that aren’t tagged after a time.

I just finally watched both Terrifiers and they are…something, lol. Art the Clown could be a classic like other slashers soon. Hope they can increase the budget and work on acting and story a little more for the next one.
Tag enforcement is a useful feature when there is an abundance of content and users need to filter out the relevant information from the noise. However, it can also discourage some people from contributing if they feel pressured or annoyed by the tag requirements.
Definitely agree with this. And the goal is exactly that, filtering and organizing. I think whenever Lemmy implements tagging or flairs, it will be less invasive, while still having the same effect.
Finding the sidebar on some mobile apps can be challenging for some apps making it difficult to even get the list of acceptable tags adding tags to their posts.
This is a good point, will probably copy the info into this post until we can come up with a better solution.
I would recommend that you encourage and recommend tags, but refrain from pestering or threatening to delete posts that do not have them, unless it becomes a serious problem for the community.
I think I speak for the other mods as well in saying we are all pretty laid back about modding. We don’t want this to turn into Reddit and we understand Lemmy is in growing stages. There are some hard and fast rules, like posts must be food/cooking related, but we’re not going to go crazy with a banhammer or removing good content just because it’s not tagged properly. I wish we had the ability to edit posts and just add them ourselves to make it easier on everyone. And in this early stage we are hoping tags get added organically and we always want to be updating with the best approaches. I will reword the sidebar to be less “threatening”. We don’t want users to feel like it’s us against them at all. You should see us all in the comments a lot because we love talking food and we’re not here to just be mods.
So really appreciate the feedback and feel free to add suggestions if you think there’s a better way. We want to be as transparent as possible and take community input at every step we can. That’s why we did the vote instead of just making the changes. We’re here for the community first and I hope that shows in our actions. Thanks!
