I'm really into some certain genres of electronic music, and I don't see a lot of electronic at all in #music. I don't want to flood a whole popular tag with music they might not be interested in, but at the same time I want to get some good links going.
I really like the idea of personal tags, so I figure #music@ will likely be one of my two tags. What do I do with the other tag? I don't see an electronic music-specific tag (EDIT: yes, this tag actually does exist, but only one other follower besides myself), should I just start posting to #electronicmusic anyway and hope people interested in it eventually find it?
Personally, I would tag it #music and #electronicmusic, that way it reaches those interested in music in general and those not interested in electronicmusic can easily "ignore" that tag. That's just me though. Your inclination to use a personal tag is a good one too.
It would be awesome if personal tags didn't count towards your two-tag limit, in my opinion. But for now I'm thinking: use a personal tag and switch between #music (if the music is pretty accessible) and #electronicmusic (if it's a little harder to get into).
We've discussed this before especially when we first implemented the personal tags. The problem was that any post could hypothetically have 2 regular tags, a community tag, and a personal tag. The personal tags tend to be long, like #hubskioriginalmusicclub.thenewgreen. I think the conclusion we came to was "we'll see how it goes" with the knowledge that people may want it but it may make posts look quite overwhelming, especially on the feed page. I've been playing a LOT with the Hubski CSS lately though so perhaps if I ever get around to finishing something (rather than just playing) the new look may allow us to add the feature without overwhelming users' eyes.
post harsh noise in #music idgaf if they hate it they can block me. following tags is a busted model anyway
I should follow #electronicmusic. Also, share the same sentiment. Getting #electronicmusic going is probably a good idea before even considering branching.
