(edit: i could've sworn i'd seen some talks about filtering options somewhere from the staff, but i cant find it at all in the bug tracker page, so uh, never mind that part unless it Does become a thing eventually (i hope it does))
to continue a thought i had in another thread, i'd like to ponder out loud what kind of factors the Media Type would be based on, because im a big fan of this style of categorization, being able to look at just the images folks have posted on their Tumblr is a great convenience, but unlike on Tumblr, Cohost doesnt have like, a 'make X type of post' prompt (text post, image post, quote/audio/video etc), and i've seen some folks just post a single image or two as like, a 'header' image, but for stuff like long-form text blog posts, so Automatically categorizing those under an 'image' label would probably not work..
and on one hand, just letting folks pick their own Labels of posts (separate from the Gallery Folders they can put them put into) could let folks customize their page as much as they'd want (as suggested by the OP of that other thread i linked to), but if combined with future Filtering options, having some baseline Standards like Tumblr's 'text post' or 'image post' types could go a long way to let folks more Easily curate their own feed/browsing experience (tho maybe that's getting out of the scope of This Feature's topic, lol)
I've been trying to get myself to sit down and hand-code my own portfolio website for years now, I think. I'm not tech-versed so I'm going to need to learn everything from scratch and the task that is most daunting for me is that I really want to have a comprehensive archive page. What is daunting is that I'd need to update that on regular basis for it to function as I intend it and it's just seem like a lot of work for someone who can't yet code and build websites in general. If I could link my cohost media gallery (something I would be able to easily edit anytime I want in a browser client) as an "archive" from my website, it would be an absolute godsend! And that of course would be only possible if I could organize and curate it freely :•)
That's re: what Larpui is talking about, that there isn't really something like that on other platforms
this would be huuuuuuuge, probably my #1 most wanted feature.
This is awesome, especially with the folders
As someone who ran away from deviantART and ended up here, yeah, absolutely need a way for me to organize my posts so people can find my writing, comics, art, profiles, refs, etc.

I know it's already planned but I'm posting this just so people can vote for it too. It'd be really helpful for us artists to have this feature.
My mockup/suggestion is already referenced in the bug tracker card but I'm putting it here as well in case others might have other ideas/additions/improvements to it:
