I finally got individual tag pages working using jekyll-archives. I don’t know why I struggled with this before, it was pretty easy. Though I encountered some weirdness with the jekyll theme I’m using, but I just brute forced my way through that honestly. You’ll see that /tags no longer has any javascript in it. In fact, I should be entirely javascript-free now! Clicking on tags on that page, on individual posts, and on posts excerpts, should now just go to a page listing all posts from that tag.

Unfortunately this is only on web, not gemini, as jekyll-gemini doesn’t yet work with plugins like jekyll-archives (or really any plugin). And it probably never will since it hasn’t seen an update in over three years. And I’m far too lazy/inexperienced to hack at it myself.
