You Can Add Some Variation to the Tribe Tags That You Use, by Using Alternative Supported Tags

If you read my posts, it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I use SteemPeak often.

Among a plethora of cool features, they do highlight the tags of the tribes which are activated on their interface.

You might be thinking right now OK, that's cool, but is it really worth a post to write about it?

Hold on a second, there's more.

As I was reading a post this morning, I noticed the tag "STEEM" being highlighted as if it was related to a tribe. No, it wasn't "STEM" with one "E" from StemGeeks.net, it was "STEEM".

That seemed curious! I hovered over the name, and it linked to the SteemLeo tribe. Really? How come this association? I thought SteemLeo was mainly about investment, although I knew the rules were not strict.

Then I remembered there are other tribes which reward posts written under different tags. One of them being StemGeeks mentioned above.

But then my question followed:
How do you know which are the tags a tribe uses to reward posts?

The answer I found to this question is this:
You go to your favorite tribe interface and see what are the tags listed on the left column. Any of them you use should be good for the post to be rewarded with the respective token.

UPDATE: This method to find out what are the "supported" tags is not reliable. I discovered that my post isn't listed in Palnet, although it uses, for testing purposes, the "abundance" tag. But I know for sure there are alternative tags supported by certain tribes. I've used some in the past, and they work.

For example, Palnet includes these tags in the list: palnet, peace, abundance, liberty, minnow, minnowsupport, spanish.

The correct answer to the question "How do you know which are the tags a tribe uses to reward posts?" is this:

You go to https://scot.today/token/TOKEN_NAME (replace TOKEN_NAME with your token, for example, LEO) and click on SCOTSetting.

Scroll down until you see something like this:

On the second row you see the list of tags supported by the tribe, in this case by LEO.

If you use either of these tags, your post is good to go, no need to include "the base tag" too. For example, if your post has the "investing" tag, it should be rewarded in LEO.

The advantage of using this approach is that you can use more appropriate tags, and not feel like your post has a list of tribes for tags.

The disadvantage of using alternative tags is curators might be scanning for main tags when deciding whether to give a vote to a post or not. And your post may fail at this test, if they don't recognize the tags.

I'll do an experiment with this post and try to use only alternative tags instead of the main, well-known tags for tribes. I'm curious how this goes, although I won't really know until I do that on a more extensive period and on other posts.

This is also a little test for you, which you may find useful for the future. How many of the tags will you recognize as being associated with some sort of tribe (and with which)?

Please allow a little room for slightly inaccurate tagging of this post for the reasons explained above!
