It should definitely be a thing! I'd love to see a separate politics subHN. Or the one with all the Medium posts ;)

  I could see how hashtags or tags could work as well.

    Lobsters[1] is the closest equivalent to "HN with tags" [1] https://lobste.rs/ https://lobste.rs/

      Are people misusing the system as in do they add all tags available to get more traffic? I saw one who added these tags to one link: "assembly c compsci go java lisp lua php python scala"

        The more tags post has, the less people will see it because users have an option to hide posts with certain tags. And of course moderators are there to adjust the tags if necessary.

      Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I was imagining. Unfortunately it's invite only.. To each their own.

        The site is pretty much dead anyways. Note how there is only one story on the frontpage atm with a single comment. But the code is somewhere in github if you want to make your own.
