Tags

Tags are used to categorize and filter posts. Each post can have a maximum of 2 managed tags, and users can follow and ignore individual tags in their preferences. Tags can also be found on user profiles and are currently just for fun.

The following query string parameters can be used on the front page and the feed to filter posts by tag:

  • tags: List of tags to include
  • not_tags: List of tags to exclude

Example: https://messagebored.org/?tags=foo+bar&not_tags=baz
