@tchambers There’s already the field that is visible from what tool is posting.

Mastodon search could be upgraded to show all posts made by Castopod.

Or, actually post of type Podcast rather than everything being a Note.

And blogs can post as Article.

Let’s not get stuck on what Mastodon can do and really exercise the ActivityPub protocol.

@boris I do think upgrading Fediverse searching by post type is intriguing but think hashtags could be an interim step that helps!

@tchambers I also don’t really understand why I would want to tag something “blog”

I do cross posting from multiple tools and my goal is to use tags to help in discovery of the content, as it is native to the AP experience.

So if it’s Fediverse related I add that hashtag, Food related I add that, etc

Fun fact: microdotblog only does title + link for blogs with a title. Shorter posts just look like regular mastodon posts.
