@melroy Because of using some very generic tags on your magazine as featured tags, this microblog gets filled with unrelated things.

        @vintprox so the tag will include data from the fediverse into the magazine. I was indeed a bit fanatical about using tags on this magazine. Hence all those unrelated stuff, that being said I wasn’t using microblogging here but only threads. But I understand that those tags were causing unnecessary spam.

    @vintprox My @FloatingIsFun replaced #space with #microgravity for this reason. It was pulling in every space-related post in the Fediverse, which is cool, but most of them don’t fit the magazine’s theme.

    I realize that by using the #microgravity tag a lot, I’ve basically hijacked the tag for my own community’s use. I wish I had an equivalent to Reddit’s filtering by post flairs without having to dominate entire tags.

      @hitstun For some magazines, even one dominated tag is not enough :P

      AFAIK, once you name the magazine certain way, it will fetch posts with hashtag of the same name, which is barely unavoidable. Hashtags are ought to be taken, by design!
