    What is preventing people from spamming popular hashtags to flood communities?

    Currently, if they want to do so, they have to manually crosspost to each community, tags seems an easier way to flood

        We have visible community tags at the moment? I thought they were only visible from Mastodon, and invisible from Lemmy?

          Maybe I’m explaining poorly, but people on mastodon and PixelFed have been able to tag communities via @lemmy@lemmy.ml for a while.
