    Cool, I took a look at the data in api/recent and realized that there's no info about the content of the topic except the title... Is there any way I can get post content?

    Hello,
    I found that I am missing a new function. I think it would be nice to have an ability to move selected post to new topic, which does not exist yet.
    Actually the workflow is to

    select posts create topic so you can have its ID put ID and move posts delete opening post in the new topic (because you had to create one temporarily)

    Would be very nice if after selecting post I could choose a category and then existing or not existing topic and move the post there.

    What do you think?

    @julian No, no, no!! Hashtags are for IRC channels! Always have been. On the 'net, anyways.... 😜

    I have thought about the tagging thing on and off a few times over the course of using NodeBB. At first I missed the absence of tagging individual posts. Figuring that the NodeBB crew were smarter than the average bears, I figured they must have some reason or another figured for omitting such. Alas, the only thing I could figure was "tag pollution". Kind of like too many chefs spoil the broth kind of deal, too many tags, and perhaps ensuing gamification thereof by those desperate for attention/upvotes could result in them becoming essentially useless. Herding cats, entropy always increases, etc. Substitute whatever analogy floats yer' boats.

    Forums excel at promoting long running, in depth conversations. Too many distractions are deriguer for the "ADD Generation". Hence, while I can see how hashtags would be an asset for something like Twitter, I wonder about posts wh/actually contain some meat, rather than just a bunch of "me too's" pointing to various other "me too's". Hmm...

    So we should ask ourselves; "What purpose do tags actually serve? What itch do they scratch?". I think not many, actually, other than one: A quick substitute for lame and/or non existent search functionality. Maybe another side benefit for the lazy would be that tags are amenable to "clickery" driven UI's. This revelation then begs the question of how many new things we might invent to solve "problems" supposedly already solved by other previously invented "solutions". And maybe, just maybe, rather than proliferating yet another new thang... we should focus on improving the original thang that was supposed to solve these issues: Search that works? And what would that look like?

    Hmm... just a bit of thought food here for inquiring minds.... 🤔

    P.S.; Not meaning to disparage anyone's efforts here but rather stimulate further discussion.

    Does it look like there could be a plugin to support this in future? Having 10s of emails on every topic everyday can get overwhelming.
