#bunbunspronouns

hey neopronoun community here's a tip:

you should tag your posts about specific kinds of pronouns as [first word][secondword][pronouns] as all one word.

Like ititspronouns or zehirpronouns.

Why?

because tumblr's search function is useless. To see just how useless, go ahead and try searching for "it/its pronouns", with the results set to "Latest".

It's much better than it was before, but you can still see how many posts are included that are there only because they contain the word "it" at some point. Lol. It used to be that zero posts actually about it/its pronouns showed up at all, just....literally any post that had the word "it" in the post or in the tags.

And this happens with all the other pronouns you can think of, unless each word is unique enough not to get used in any other kind of post.

So the easiest way to avoid this is to use specific tags, like ititspronouns, which will guarentee relevant results when you search for that.

Just keep the tagging scheme consistent, and everyone will be able to find relevant posts! Firstword, second word, pronouns!

Theythempronouns, bunbunspronouns, starstarspronouns, ect!

I use this tagging system here, and started using it for @neopronouns-in-action and @custom-pronoun-pins (which has not received any requests in forever, but they're always open!)

I very highly encourage others to start using these kinds of tags, so that posts about certain pronouns can be found easily!

I would just say it's probably not a good idea to do it for posts where you're just listing out a ton of pronouns, though, that would clog the tags up very fast, and be a lot you'd have to type.

Also, for anyone who missed it, here's a post I made with different categories I came up with for different kinds of neopronouns so that it's easier for people to specify!
