Since like half the communities and posts here are NSFW related, can we have a common tagging standard?
I’m seeing different requirements across the communities and it gets frustrating to have to check the rules for every post to make sure I’m fitting in the guidelines.
I would love to have a tag/flairs system yes but it looks like the functionality is just not there yet in lemmy. Standardising for the whole instance though? Yeah, nah. Different communities have different needs like beastclub with animal types while mine would probably fit in the standard tag/flairs that other communities can use (maybe).
I don’t see this happening though, very different communities overall.
You seem to already do tagging the same as beastclub.
[Equine] title “credit the artist at the end of your title”
[Cute] title (AI)
I’m not talking some dictatorial standard for every post. Just an agreed upon format for those who do tagging and want it to be consistent. Like, let’s take a vote or something.
I’m trying to understand your point and correct me if I’m wrong. So the communities that uses tags should use the same, consistent formatting? Like the type of brackets used or crediting the artist at the end of title? Same title sentencing format i.e “[type] creative title (artist/AI)”? Maybe some examples would help.
I’m hoping tags/flairs will be a feature on lemmy soon, including marking a post as a spoiler. Then all this trouble would be hopefully gone for the most part.
What @LongerDonger@burggit.moe said earlier makes sense.
What I’m seeing is happening now is:
“[Group(Artist/Author)] Title (Media being parodied if applicable) (chapter(s) if applicable) (language if not in English)”
“[Music Genre] Artist - Song”
“Tag your posts” “Credit the artist”
“Title (Author)”
“(Author) Title”
“Title” author in the body text"
So a general consensus as to order placement and formatting would be good. It would help with not breaking the rules accidentally in each community and help with reading the titles. Also people who are non-native English speakers will understand which part of a title is the authors name as sometimes they have names that be mixed up with the content. For instance I just found an author “Freedom” which could easily be the title of an orgasm picture.
