Like labels in GMail; they can be nested (and boy I use that feature a lot!)

more than 6 years and they still haven't added this

This would be a killer feature for me. I've got ~16K bookmarks with ~1500 tags. It's pretty obvious that some are parent-child pairs, others are synonyms ("envy","desire").

Would appreciate this for one of my use cases.
I bookmark a lot of instagram posts with places I want to visit. I'd like to create a hierarcy of places:
Places:
-Spain
--Malaga
-Italy
--Rome
--Florence
I thought I could do this with Collections but then I lose all the power of the tag. If there's a video with Top 10 Places to Scuba Dive. It's could contain 10 different countries. Which Collection does this go it?
I think for organisation as well, it would help to keep the tags themselves grouped.

Yes please

We already love tags, they allow us to organize items into all the potential contexts, or however tags are used
Nested tags would allow us to organize this organization system better, into context hierarchy, or however one prefers
This would help with finding relevant items, but also keep a neat looking sidebar
Bear, the notes app, is an example of this method: https://bear.app/faq/nested-tags/

Also in favor of hierarchical tags. Many use cases, for instance: subtags for "#media/video," "#media/audio," etc. that could all be surfaced just by searching "#media."

Pictured is the tag pane from bookmark software Anybox, as an example. Hierarchical tags is one of the few advantages Anybox currently has over Raindrop.io.

Timothy DuBay Two others that offer it are Goodlinks (Mac app like Anybox) and GGather which is a web app. Goodlinks has a browser built in, which is an advantage over Anybox. GGather is the best of all of them, but sadly it's obvious they simply won't upgrade their infrastructure to be reliable, and I doubt they'll be around in a few years, otherwise it is better than Raindrop.
