| Kudos on your site effort and I immediately see your point. In fact I took your topmost entry with no helpful site/update tags and dove in a little to try to understand why a RSS friendly blogger might not be passing along ~ tags for better reader discovery. Turns out my scarce info test case blogger has a mastodon that immediately lists all these tags about himself [I've stripped it down] ... #FrontEnd Developer #CSS

Nonetheless I merely crawled links for a minute to found this info, so I imagine something like the free tier of the Cloudflare crawling api might suffice over time for a simplistic automated fix to hint decorate blog sites. I mean, given that we're not trying to recreate pagerank, but just trying to tip the balance in favor of desirable initial discovery. |
Crawling related sites for tags could work (open graph tags on the website are another good source). I'm wary of mixing data across contexts though. A blog and a Mastodon profile may intend to present a different face to the world or could discuss different topics.
