Custom tag for community? (lemmy.world)

Is it maybe planned to be able to set a custom tag for a community instead of one pulled from the url? I reckon there are many communities where this would make more sense.

Like the community i am moderating is c/bicycle_touring, but i think #biketouring and #bikepacking are the hashtags that are being used on mastodon for this stuff.

Seems like a good idea. Have you opened a ticket on the Github?

[–] AchtungDrempels@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Right? No, i didn't, i am not on github.

The devs have said that they only follow issues on GitHub, so if it stays here the chances of it making it to the development pipelines are quite low

Ah ok. I would kinda be surprised if that hasn't been discussed, this should be relevant for a lot of communities. Just checked for example #desire_paths has 0 posts on mastodon, they're all being posted without underscore. Or !bicycles@lemmy.ca would probably be better categorized under a #bicycle" or "bicycling" hashtag.

Maybe someone here with a github account thinks this is a good idea and will create an issue there. If not i may look into it when i am done with my holidays.
