I personally don't know how hacker news achieved these things. will have look deeper into its history and moderation , ranking mechanisms.I personally think that tagging should be allowed on HN. Tags can be very limited in number but will be helpful for its audience to separate out interesting links. The reason HN still managed to do good without tags is the culture itself.The hacker culture is not limited to any domain (tag). What stimulates a human brain to think becomes part of HN discussion.

Have you seen https://lobste.rs/ https://lobste.rs/ ? I think they get tagging basically right.

  How is their tagging different from any other tagging?

  yeah .I wonder why it requires an invite to sign-up.

Are there any popular HN clients that support tagging? It seems like something a good number of people want. Maybe it could be added on top of HN by a third party if a client app/site had enough people to support it. It's never been something I've wanted, but I can see the appeal.
