On the right side are just the most active tags.
The first tag you use in your article is a sort of anchor, in that category the article will be saved (you can change the tag but the old will still be in the URL - happened to me with a misspelled politics). The other tags can be edited later without problems.
So if you want to create a new category, make that as your first tag. It may work with 2nd 3rd etc tag but I don't know.
First works, that is why you sometimes get strange categories or with wrong spelling.
Thanks for the reply. @darkflame found it under https://steemit.com/trending/prepping. Still not sure why it didn't get its own category/tag instead of becoming a sub-category under #trending. Any ideas? Or how to set it free on its own?
I think it's shortest if I give you 2 links to compare:
https://steemit.com/trending/prepping
https://steemit.com/created/prepping
trending is not a tag itself, its created by steemit UI as is hot, promoted and new (created)
Well, NOW I'm THROUGHLY corn-fused! :|
So I see the first instance in under "trending" and the second under "new".
Both hold different content! Did an AI make this??? (Is it SANE?)
new shows all posts. trending only those that got a lot of upvotes (and money).
ANd if you want to see all posts from all categories, you just use
https://steemit.com/created
That's what I needed. A way o find it! Thanks again for all the followup.
