This #theme-component in combination with trending tags would be an absolute game changer for a multi-feed view!
This theme component adds a column displaying tags to your categories page.
This only works if the desktop category page style site setting is set to either categories and latest topics or categories and top topics.

This component comes with a number of settings:
tag_count: change the number of tags that appear by default. When only a subset of tags is shown you’ll also get a “more” button.
categories_page_column_count: this controls the number of…
Speaking of tags, it’d be awesome if there was a #plugin that suggested various tags (relevant ones) that a user could put into their post while typing it. Not only does it generally fit well in a social media platform, it would also simply just encourage users to use tags more often. This is definitely worth looking into!
First off, thanks Discourse team for making an AMAZING product. We’ve been on Discourse now for over a year and really, really love the platform you’ve built. Thank you!!
Forgive me if this is a feature I’ve missed but would love to see the option to have suggested tags when someone posts a discussion.
Our members often don’t know all of the tags we have. And, even if they do, they often won’t take the time to tag their discussion appropriately.
It’d be pretty great if somewhere in the pos…
Changing “topics” to “posts” and “posts” to “replies” might be much more difficult than originally thought…
Hi,
We are trying to replace the default Topic term with Question.
In the admin settings, I see we can customize any of the text on the forum, but there are too many item contains the term topic. Is there a way to batch find and replace?
We should also look into how many tags a Discourse instance can handle without bringing it to its knees.
Earlier discussion suggest limit number of categories to a reasonable number, e.g., <100.
I wonder is there a practical upper limit for total number of tags before we expect performance or other issues ?
Would a ~20k tags be a reasonable number ?
I totally forgot about widgets! We should definitely take advantage of them if possible.
What settings or plugins could enable something like the Latest view except where the widget showed the actual post instead of just the topic headline – kind of like a Facebook feed? Users would scroll down to see latest posts (albeit without context) and clicking would open up the entire Topic in context.
This seemed related but maybe not exactly what I’m asking for:
thanks
There was a ton of discussion in this topic surrounding a feed view in Discourse. We should learn to avoid certain caveats.
Hi, continuing on this Twitter exchange , I’d like to propose an idea – an optional social homepage layout for Discourse.
So, right now when you open Discourse (on mobile, as most people do) you see something like:

You have to bravely click-through on one of the topics to actually see the content of discussions in there, which can sometimes be much more interesting than the thread title would indicate:

Most of us, however, have been spoiled by the more content-centred layouts of …
