Tags And Searching For Posts
🕑 Added 2023-02-02 15:37:05 +0000 UTCIt was a herculean task, but I have gone through all of my posts here from the past year and redone the tagging!
I tried tagging individual ships and pairings for a bit, but quickly realized that it fully cluttered the tag list with dozens of one post entries. With just a couple of months of trying that out, the tag amount went almost to the hundreds. So not good, right?
But! I found a better way to do it. The tags themselves I did not change too much (there's still SFW/NSFW, series where the fanart is from, OC art, Third tier exclusive art tag, comics.... generic stuff like that.
However in addition to that, I added lists of individual characters and ships into the text field of the posts themselves. This way, you can search those from the search bar on the top of my account page. For example, say you're craving to see fatgum, just word search "fatgum" and all my arts with him should pop up without having to shift through the entire "BNHA" tag. Some posts should also have some kink descriptors in the main text or content warnings, but for now that search is unfortunately less precise.
There's surely some typos to fix and additions to make, but I think this should be handy for now! And I added all this same info into my pinned post, as well.
In case anyone's browsing patreon through the phone app only, the search bar should be on my account's home page. However, at least for me, I've noticed the app likes to glitch from time to time when trying scroll back further into the post history, so for anyone wanting to marathon through older arts smoothly, I would recommend the desktop/web browser version for a less glitchy ride and more advanced search settingsπͺ
And to bring this all home: If you miss a specific piece of art from me but just can't find it despite all this, please feel free to ask me! I'm the head archivist here, and have the approximate knowledge where and when everything resides. And that goes for old twitter posts, too, those can be torture to find! π§‘

Thank you for going through that trouble! Honestly it's making me also re-evaluate how I also tag stuff xD im sure now that it's done and you've figured it out it'll be easier going forward! And also make it easier for all of us! Cause i can't lie there has been moments i've trolled through your twitter or patreon for specific art to share with friends (who have your patreon/follow you on twitter already)
Humble.b.umble

I'm happy to make things more organized and navigatable! It's something I didn't pay too much attention before, but now there's so much stuff that some attempt at keywords is just a must, to myself too!
Pete
Oh that used to be a thing? Well I hope this lasts, then π€ and yeah i've found so much stuff even before doing this by just getting lucky that the word I searched accidentally happened to be there! It's super handy

I remember the search didn't pick up words in the text in the past. I'm glad that changed because I just tried to find my boys and it worked, thanks for your service π«‘

Thank you for putting in that time <3 I will admit that sometimes I just want to find one thing of yours, and if I can't remember what month it was in, tag surfing can be difficult. Thank you so much for working to organize everything for people (patreon glitches aside).
Pete
It's was no problem, I'm happy if it makes browsing stuff easier! π And it benefits me too, trying to locate stuff π
Pete
I'm just glad if it'll ease the browsing! I already noticed some things about the app search that I gotta look into to make it even better, but now that the floor work in done that shouldn't be any extra botherπ
Ruby
The amount of time this mustβve taken thank you so much πππ
Thiriously
I can't imagine the amount of work this took! As someone who constantly browses, especially on mobile, I really appreciate it! Thank you so much, Pete!!
