Hi @rdeets we just added official rules in the sidebar, and we have stipulations about adding a label (not a tag or badge) to all submission titles.

Please read carefully and incorporate into future submissions. Thank you.

Are labels a kbin specific feature? I’m interacting with this magazine from Lemmy, and AFAIK, there’s no concept of tagging/labels here.

Thanks for asking @ptz. On kbin.social, there is an option in the link submissions form to add badges (similar to flair from reddit) or tags (hashtags to broadcast to the microblogging feature of the Fediverse). As of right now, the badges feature isn’t working properly - you can type in the name of a badge (I think it’s supposed to be a drop down menu, but is currently a text field) but it doesn’t show up in the submission anywhere.

Our users were asked 2 weeks ago what rules they want in this space for moderation and multiple users expressed a desire to see labelling of some sort between news, opinion/editorialized, and analysis content. This is a unique community rule to the politics magazine on kbin.social based on solicited member comments.

We ask that submissions include a label in the title like “News: [Article title as it appears on external site]”

Hope this answers your question.

Gotcha, thanks! I’m still learning how all these different federated platforms work together / what features work where, etc.

It just means to start your title with a label such as “News:” or “Editorial:”. You can see details in the sidebar.

Gotcha. Sidebar here doesn’t have that info but clicking through to the kbin page shows them (not sure if they’re different things across platforms or just haven’t sync’d). That rule makes sense, just wasn’t sure how to comply with it.

Still learning how all these different federated platforms work together / what features won’t work where, etc.
