Cross posting from Reddit in case anyone here wasn’t already aware…
I use Deck almost every day. One of the frustrations I’ve had with Deck is the fact that you can’t (yet) share tags among boards. I’ve found a way to do it, so I thought I would post it here for people who were not aware. Until this functionality is implemented on desktop and mobile, this makes a decent workaround.
How to transfer tags from one board to another
Prerequisites:
- A Nextcloud server with an account
- Nextcloud Deck for Android
- On the desktop (can be done on mobile, but desktop is easier) - Create a new card in the board which has the tags you want to transfer
- Open the card details and assign all the tags you want to that card.

- Look at the tags for the board you just transferred the card to. You should see all the tags.
How to transfer tags between servers

- In the card menu, select “Move Card”
- Select the server board you wish to send the card to
- Transfer the card with tags to the other server.
- Result: All tags are transferred to the other account in the board the card was assigned to
