<![CDATA[Native discovery of related tags (fedibuzz/tags.pub)]]>I was talking to my marketing guy about integrating a tags-based onboarding workflow for freshly installed forums.

The gist of it is, the forum admin adds a couple tags for the forum to globally follow, and achieves this via fedibuzz relay or tags.pub. Auto-categorization rules are automatically added and the forum starts receiving new (highly relevant!) posts through the magic of hashtag+federation ✨

He then asked whether it was possible to suggest related tags (e.g. add guitar suggest acousticguitar, electricguitar, etc.) for the admin to also add, to which I replied in the negative "for now".

But that got me thinking, is this something fedibuzz or tags.pub could achieve/offer in its API? It would require a bit of data analysis, to match up common hashtag usage, but doable maybe?

Please don't worry too much about it.

The FASP concept is good but sounds technically difficult to implement, so I'm a little wary of it at the moment. I'm a fan of simple APIs especially for public data.

Is that suitable for you? If so, I should do it soon.

Do you know if there are rough analytics available per tag, e.g. "7 posts in the last 7 days", etc.?

I fear that analyzing co-occurrency is going to use much more memory than I am allowed to use on our servers in the basement.
