The red fox is just the common name of the species Vulpes Fulvus (American red Fox) and Vulpes Vulpes (European red fox)
In the wild Red Foxes come in a few colors.
Red, Silver, "cross" (which is a mix of red and silver), and white (which is either albino or leucistic).
Red Foxes in captivity come in DOZENS of different colors. These unnatural colors are a result of selective breeding, mutations, and inbreeding. The colors happen because of recessive or "hidden" genes in the foxes as well as random mutations of genes.
@ickplant@lemmy.world just tested, and Mastodon interprers neither tags as such when in titles or text body if coming from Lemmy.
However, it does receive as tag the name of the community, e.g. the one where I tried, !test_magazine@thebrainbin.org, got passed to Mastodon as #test_magazine, so maybe making a crosspost to a properly-named magazine should help.

@ickplant
Why is this post not tagged #FoxNews ?

Can we tag things on Lemmy?

Afaik not directly. Though maybe in the text body.
I'll try in a test community real quick.

Thank you for testing. So for a tech idiot like myself, does this mean I should cross post to !foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org?
Auster@thebrainbin.org · 3 pts · 214d
Presumably so, considering the tests.
Also forgot to mention tags in comments don't seem to work either.
And in case you'd be curious, how the tag looks in Mastodon for the post here in !foxes@lemmy.world, under the image:
