The use of tags vs discrete communities keeps it from being a viable alternative to Reddit for me.

I have a real disdain for tags for user generated content. Every site I have seen use tags I end up having to wade through a ton of spam or vaugly related content to whatever tag I am looking for. The only exception I can think of is Hashtags for twitter but that is due to the character limit.

I understand that people see tages as a solution to crossposting but I think people overlook the benefits of crossposting. Being able to have seperate conversations on AI art in an art community vs programming community is more useful to me than having a single post that both communities comment on.

It's a hybrid model, and I'd be curious if people like this or not as it's been something I'm fiddling with.

Note that when you vote, you upvote the tag itself. The vote within the tag determines its order when browsing the tag itself. So if something is tagged with #formula1 and has 483 upvotes for the tag, it will appear high in the #formula1 list view. If it's also tagged with #funny with 1 upvote, it will appear low in the #funny list despite the high votes on #formula1.

That is a pretty good solution to the relevant tags and spam issues I was worried about. Good thinking there. One half of my issues gone.

The single conversation is still a big problem for me. I really like being able to have conversations within a specific community and get specific angles on a topic. I also like to look at a conversation on the same topic in different subreddits to see how different communities react. It's not to say that one way is inhertly better but more of a personal preference.

To get two conversations it could just be posted twice with different tags? It's then up to the poster to decide in that case, not sure if that solves your problem.
