Do you know if there's a good guide on how cohost works if you skipped the intro because you didn't think? Because I don't know whether I need to add all of the tags and CW's from what I'm sharing if I'm adding something or if they automatically apply and I just need to add the ones that apply to my ramblings
I dunno either

in reply to @TomboiFemboy's post:
the key difference between cws and tags is that cws hide the post behind a clickthrough.
when you add a cw, you essentially get to add a series of tags that are there to warn the reader of potentially harmful content, and require them to click on a button to see a post. the cw tags aren’t the same as normal tags for some reason, but they still work as tags for filtering reasons, as you can add a list of cws you never want to see.
when you add tags there is no clickthrough, unless the reader has that tag muffled.
i’d generally say to pick tags over cws if the content can be harmful for very specific groups but in general isn’t harmful (e.g. food, selfies, etc.) cos cwing them does provide a connotation that it is inherently harmful which can kinda suck for some things
Thank you!
Do you know if the CW's from a post I'm sharing (reblogging? Idk, I think) and adding to the thread/chain of keep the CW's from OP? And does it apply to the whole thread or just their post? I don't want people running into something that genuinely should be CW'd and isn't
unlike in tumblr, when you rebug a post, it references the original post in the chain, as opposed to making a copy of it. (this also means that if you rebug a post and add some commentary, and OP edits the original, then your rebug will also feature those edits.) this means two things: 1. if you rebug a post with a cw, it will retain that cw in the rebug, and 2. your rebug doesn’t need to have any cws of its own. what i’ve seen so far is that if you add to the chain and what you’re saying on its own doesn’t deserve a content warning, then there’s no need to add your own!
for example: if someone posted a short story with some cws on it because it has some heavy themes, and you rebug it and add “wow this story is so good y’all, you should definitely check it out!” then i don’t think you’d need to add a cw on it, and it might even be harmful, since people would assume that your rebug talks about those same heavy themes, and it might make the cw more confusing if they open it and find that it just contains praise
just to follow up, i checked your profile and saw that you 18+ a lot of regular text posts? idk if that’s something you’ve actively done or if it’s just cos you’ve set your account as 18+ in the settings. if it’s the latter then you’re cool and sorry for bothering, but if it’s the former then i’ve heard people complain about seeing a post labeled 18+ and not being able to tell if it’s graphic porn, a sex joke, or just a random comment that seems to be vaguely horny. this seems like a situation that tags can really help with although i don’t really know for sure since i’m not entirely certain about the 18+ etiquette on the site since i’m ace
It was genuinely accidental. It defaults to that on 18+ accounts, and I didn't notice the first couple of times. May be easier to spot on desktop, I'm on mobile
Also I haven't used Tumblr since like 2016, and even then used it very little, so I'm not used to tagging being a function.
