Re: A convention for gemlog tags

flexibeast suggests a convention for tagging

Having written a tag crawler, I know a little about this. The tag formats that were common enough for me to notice them were:

#hashtags

lines beginning with "🏷"

lines beginning with "Tags:"

links where the text begins "Tags:"

links like gemini://example.com/tags/foo

I started with hashtags - simple to use, widely understood. I added the others as I found them because they seemed sensible tagging systems. I bet I missed some.

My guess is that mostly Geminauts are tagging their own content for their own purposes, and they're not too bothered about anyone else's tags. But who knows.

Acidus also has a hashtag index - not sure if it reads any other types of tags
