For a long time, users have been able to submit microblog-style posts to link-aggregator subs (a.k.a. subcommunity, community, magazine, etc.). Some platforms such as mbin require you to select one for your post. Previously, I’ve thought this sub selection as a special hashtag for the post. However, I’ve recently been reminded that posts actually show up in communities as full-on threads. So what do you (or the threadi gods) consider to be proper etiquette in selecting a proper sub to make your microblog post to? There’s always !random, but that feels kinda worthless…

    Ah, yeah, that’s messed up.

    I’m really happy Mastodon takes their time todevelop new features instead of rushing into things. Makes me hopeful they’ll get it right.
