I’m still trying to figure out a good implementation for our Reddit post flairs across Lemmy and Kbin. Kbin lets me give my posts multiple tags, but there are problems.

For one, Lemmy doesn’t see Kbin’s tags or badges at all. I don’t even think they get Kbin’s OC tag. I’ll have to manually add the hashtag to the post body to make it even visible on Lemmy. Edit: Kbin tags don’t federate at all, not even to other Kbin instances.

Second, neither Lemmy nor Kbin let you search by tag within a magazine/community. I’ve been relying on all ten of our tags going unused in the rest of the Fediverse, so when someone clicks the tag, they get mostly Floating Is Fun posts. I changed the subreddit’s Space tag to microgravity to avoid some of these conflicts. Unrelated posts still get caught up in windpower though.

Third, my tag implementation only looks good when my CSS is used, but my CSS only gets loaded when viewing on my home instance.
