Oh, huh, I guess I do post a lot about that
I was meandering among the tags on one of my past front page posts, and noticed that "inspirational" said:
Users that often use this tag:
brainwane
Other MeFites who make front page posts: are you ever surprised to notice a theme emerging among your posts? Like, "Oh, huh, I guess I do post a lot about that"? I'm curious!

I am surprised to see that I have five posts tagged hiphop.

I do like birds! And I often add obit tags to others' posts if they make an obit post and don't add them. The Canada one though, that was a bit of a surprise.

My profile page lists my ten most frequently-used tags, which mostly concern my intentionally themed post series of short scifi/fantasy stories (there were 150+ of those). Below that threshold, I find smaller patterns, like work (13) and religion (12) and CalloutCulture (5).
I was a little surprised to be the MeFite with the most posts on the blue tagged "inspirational" but then I realized most of us use "inspiration" instead. Similarly, I seem to be the MeFite who tags "queer" most often on front page posts, but I bet others are using the other related tags instead.
If I were assiduous, all of them would be tagged postsbyPoC.

Dogs! Dog, dogtraining, puppies. And Boston. And anxiety. Pretty much!

I like art. That's not a surprise except that I continue to think of myself as someone who doesn't actually like art.

The only tag I've used more than once is "food" (3 times). Which, to be fair, is a topic very near and dear to my stomach heart.

Music, art, dogs, food. Yeah, pretty much sums up my interests.

I'm shocked that my most common tag is podcasts. It seems really out of character.

PostMoarGlobal (17)
had to Google that and that can be a fine thing.
Damn Adam, the Surrealism tags make a nice collection effectively making me jealous.

Neat question! I'm not surprised by my tags, though I don't think their content speaks as broadly to my actual breadth of frequent topics as they might if we were using a controlled vocabulary (that is neither a complaint nor a feature request). I regularly try to overtag, use variants and plurals, etc., as a reaction to my own past frustration in seeking topics by tag and finding I'd missed whole swathes of posts because I didn't search all variants. Anyhoo:
MeFi tags: art (18) Artists (11) Artist (10) Painting (10) Painters (8) illustration (7) Painter (7) divination (6) drawing (6) Food (6)

I have made so few FPPs (sad face) that I have no tag with more than 2 mentions. not nearly enough to form a pattern.

What a good question.
Here are my leaders:

Which surprised me a bit, since I spend most of my time in academia and futures.... spaces.

What this teaches me is that I am just really bad at tagging, but my most used tag is marathon, and I'm not really surprised about that.

Over 7,945 days of membership here, I've made 35 posts, about one every 227 days. All that time and still insufficient data to detect a trend :-(

BTW, people who haven't noticed this yet: even after you post a front page post, you can add to or remove tags! So it's possible to go back and add tags to your own past posts.

But I decided to let someone else start the thread for the currently extremely stuck ship, since my humourous track record is somewhat out of whack with the awful circumstances.
