<p>Is it feasible for !gnusocial ? Or would it cause problems?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The answer is <strong>yes</strong> and will be released with v3. With the addition of
<ahref="(https://gnusocial.rocks/v3/milestone-notes-and-actors-with-languages.html">Languages in notes and actors</a>) there was little excuse not to be feasible.</p>
<p>Whenever you post a note containing tags, you can choose whether to
make those tags canonical. This means that, for instance, the tags
<code>#run</code> and <code>#running</code> become the 'same', meaning that when you click on
the link for the <code>#run</code> tag, you'll also see notes tagged #running. You
can opt out of the behaviour by unchecking the "Make note tags
canonical". An identical process occurs for people tags.</p>
<p>Internally, this transformation is accomplished by splitting the tag
into words and <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming">stemming</a> each word.</p>
<h3>Related Tags</h3>
<p>In a tag feed, you can see tags that are often used together with the
one you're seeing. This can be useful, for instance, for finding other
content you'd be interested in.</p>
<h1>Improved Tag feeds</h1>
<p>When you click on a tag, be it a note tag or a person tag, you'll see
a feed of notes/people with that tag. You can also edit the feeds you
see in your left panel, so you can follow a given tag.</p>
<h1>Mute Self Tags and Note Tags</h1>
<p>If you don't like seeing a given tag in your feeds, for whatever
reason, you can choose to mute it. You can mute a note tag or a person
tag, in which case you wouldn't see any notes from people with that
