It feels like we need an extra level of aggregation for posts. It would be great if all posts for a certain topic could be grouped together. Maybe hashtags or something.
Yeah it's honestly very strange that they don't implement a proper tag system, i can't imagine it would be difficult (like bro it's an extra array for every post) and it would give a ton of flexibility to the ecosystem.
Kbin supports hashtags (and I included a few when I posted this), but there's no filtering option yet (that I'm aware of, at least), so it's still mostly just for discovery purposes.
People did move here from reddit after all. That's why I recommend apps like lemmy connect on Android with keyword filtering. You can't control what people post, but you can regain control by controlling what you see.
