I've followed all the frequent posters on piefed.social using my mastodon.social account so we should be seeing a lot more PieFed content showing up there now. But unless you use hashtags, I'll be the only one seeing it!

When making your post, put a few words into the Tags field below the Body field, separated by a comma. No need to include the # character.

I had a thought that it might be useful if communities had a list of default tags, so even if poster does not choose any, the post would still have some generic ones. If Fediverse feels that would be excessive, we could agree on some prefix/suffix for those default tags. So gaming_default does not "pollute" gaming

Mbin already does this afaik (the default tags, not the prefixes), so I don't think that would be controversial.

Lemmy does it as well, usually posts receive a tag corresponding to the community name

True, but Mbin lets you define a list of tags for communities to apply to posts. So it's closer to OP's idea of "a list of default tags".
