Is this not how mastodon/twitter works?
Sounds like Tumblr. Mastodon or Kbin/Mbin on the Fediverse do this too.
Tumblr, Twitter/X, Mastodon.
Aka "microblogging" sites.
What I'm really looking for is the same tagging method of image boards where everyone collaborates tagging content. I think hashtags are just spam and tags are non disruptive metadata that can actually help organize content.
That is exactly how it works with Tumblr, not so much the others. The tags are not part of the post itself, and others can add more that the OP didn't add.
Cool, that's what I was looking for. Thanks!

I was an early reddit user from before the time subreddits existed. Much of the user base, including myself, were asking for tag functionality, but the subreddit concept was introduced instead. I guess they needed a way to moderate tags, and that was their solution. Decades later, they told those same mods to go fuck themselves, so maybe they should have just used tags in the first place like they clearly expected subreddits to act.
I'd allow users to choose from a set of predefined tags, not create their own.
And namespaced tags could be cool. So you could have aww:caturday or pcgaming:rpg
The site UI would need to be really good or lots of tags on a single post would look awful.
And I wonder how bad actors would attack it? Mistagging probably, but how effective could that be?
I think you just invented Usenet
I don't know how image boards manage it, but they are always curated properly; I've yet to see troll tags.
Extensive moderation and copious bans
I had this idea years ago where users would utilize tags rather than cross posting. I really hate x-posting, but a lot of users like subscribing to subs. Tags would allow you to both subscribe to or filter out a very specific topic wherever it happens to be posted.
I guess you could add search alerts or keyword filters and eliminate x-posting.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
