help with using [sic]
In [sic] you can customise what on-topic means for you by subscribing only to topics of interest.
Tags and aggregations
Posts on [sic] are organised by tags.
Tags are hierarchical and can have multiple parents and children; they form a directed acyclic graph.
To read posts only relevant to your interests, you can collect related tags into aggregations. Your personalised frontpage will be then the posts with tags in your aggregations you have subscribed to.
When you sign up you will be subscribed to the default aggregations which are managed by the website moderators. You can however create your own and don't use the default ones at all.
Your personal aggregations can be kept private or public. They also can be discoverable, i.e. they show up in the public aggregations list.
You can always find your personal aggregations in your Account page.
You can change your subscription status from the aggregation's page. If you're a moderator and/or creator, you can also edit it.
If you want to base a personal aggregation on an existing one, you can create a copy.
A tag is added to one aggregation through a story filter.
You can select a depth for each tag which determines how many levels of descendants in the tag graph are included.
The default depth is 0. An empty depth means the entire tree starting from the given tag is included.
Finally, you can exclude tags by adding exclude filters.
