creator:(user) & creator:(user)edits. But with the unified tag we give the creator the choice if they want to have it seperate or combined. Now it feels like it is forced to be seperate.I guess it makes sense. I guess it’s more of a personal thing as I’m not really comfortable being referred to as a “creator,” when in my opinion I’m not really creating anything. I’m not sketching a start image or editing a traditional art image I made, I’m just entering text into a UI and clicking a button until I get something I like. At best I’ll evolve/duplicate generations and clean them up afterwards, but I still don’t know if that really makes me a creator.
You…assume it’s more common for people to want to follow everything a person makes all at once? ._.;
keeping things as they are creates the least amount of issues
Thankfully watchlists allow for complex queries and they can just do artist:blah AND NOT photo; yes the reverse path of someone adding all the different origin tags to their watchlist could also work, but, I strongly suspect your scenario is far less common than “I want to watch all this person’s stuff”, so less overall friction.
photo stuff, it’s likely they aren’t interested in any photos at all and may just hide that tag sitewide.

Yes, site profile lists those… but that assumes there is a profile, and that the user knows to click on it to check… not greatprompter:blah, something uploaders might not change when appropriatecreator:blah felt neutral, director:blah is what’s used in e6ai so maybe people are used to that. author:blah could definitely work. There’s also producer:blah, or simply just by:blah.It’s also very annoying that different tags that refer to the same person have different followership, and thus if people are subscribed toprompter:marestare, for example, they won’t see new posts that containeditor:marestareorartist:marestarewithout theprompter:marestaretag. For this reason, I’ve been adding several variants of the authorship tags to my posts.
artist: tag may simply not be interested in their photographer: or editor: tag, so, no actually, those tags all exist separately for a reason, and using them all on the same image defeats the point and sounds silly to me. If someone wants to follow them all, they can, if they don’t want to, they shouldn’t be forced to. it’s not an all or nothing thing, they’re different things, and that’s okay.prompter:marestare, for example, they won’t see new posts that contain editor:marestare or artist:marestare without the prompter:marestare tag. For this reason, I’ve been adding several variants of the authorship tags to my posts.creator or author. I think both are fine, but I lean more towards author for no specific reason other than maybe that it’s shorter.If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization, wings, and spread wings would all be found by a search for wing, but sewing would not be.
