Pagination in Django ListView when using get_context

I am currently facing this problem with Django ListView. Basically, I need to filter some questions per topic and I would like to paginate the results. My code is working perfectly about the queryset part (the results are showed correctly) but I am facing a problem with pagination. Let's say I have so far 8 items in my query, if I choose to paginate_by = 10, it shows me just one page. If, otherwise, I choose to paginate by, let's say, 3, it shows me 3 pages to choose in the template (which is correct) but it shows me ALL the results of the query in my page. I post some code to be more clear

models.py:

class Tag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=300, unique=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

def clean(self):
    self.name = self.name.capitalize()

def __str__(self):
    return self.name


class Question(models.Model):
    post_owner = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=5000, default='')
    body = tinymce_models.HTMLField()
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(
        Tag, related_name='tags')
    viewers = models.ManyToManyField(
        User, related_name='viewed_posts', blank=True)

views.py:

class TagQuestionsListView(ListView):
template_name = 'main/tag_questions.html'
paginate_by = 20

def get_queryset(self, **kwargs):
    tag = Tag.objects.get(name=self.kwargs['name'])
    questions = Question.objects.filter(tags=tag)
    return questions

def get_contextdata(self, **kwargs):
    context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
    context['tag'] = Tag.objects.get(name=self.kwargs['name'])
    context['questions'] = Question.objects.filter(
        tags=context['tag'], is_deleted=False)
    return context

template:

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load humanize %}
{% block title %}Domande su {{tag.name}}{% endblock title %}

With this I want my comment converter to answer.

You have to use page_obj instead questions in your template.

<--!               ⬇️⬇️⬇️      -->
{% for question in page_obj %}
<div >
    <div >
        <p>{{ question.count_all_the_votes }} Voti</p>
        <p>{{ question.count_answers }} Risposte</p>
        <p>{{ question.calculate_viewers }} Visualizzazioni</p>
    </div>
    <div >
        <a href="{% url 'main:question_details' pk=question.id slug=question.slug %}"><h5>{{question.title}}</h5></a>
        <div >
            {{ question.body|striptags }}
        </div>
        {% for tag in question.tags.all %}
        <a  href="{% url 'main:tag_questions' name=tag.name %}">{{tag.name}}</a>
        {% endfor %}
        <div >
            <a style="display: inline;" href="">{{question.post_owner}}</a> 
            {% if question.is_edited == False %}
            <span style="display:inline;">creata {{question.created_at | naturaltime}}</span>
            {% else %}
            <span style="display:inline;"> modificata {{question.edited_time | naturaltime}} da <a style="display: inline;" href="">{{question.edited_by.username}}</a></span>
            {% endif %}
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

{% endfor %}

So, if you define attribute paginate_by , than ListView(django docs) adds a paginator and page_obj to the context. To allow the users to navigate between pages, add links to the next and previous page, in your template.
