Cunt The Business End Of A Blow Torch Right Into Liz Truss' Crack, It's 01:30 #hashtags
Something I would really love is the ability to hide #hashtags from view in my feed.
I appreciate the need for them, but when they’re visible they can eat up half my phone’s screen for a single post.
@ollie_francis eager to be able to follow #hashtags.
Welcome to the recent wave of #NewPeople migrating to #Mastodon. Our #Community goes round-n-round via #hashtags, here’re some I’ll be boosting & tooting about - always looking to connect with my tribe. #WelcomeNewbies, you’ll love it here!

@bok @Steveb #Hashtags are only #searchable across multiple instances if someone is following/boosting/interacting on the targeted instance or the instance is using a relay.
That means that continuous inter instance transport of content only happens if the sender is interesting enough to be followed.
Marketing drivel with tons of hashtags will mostly annoy the sender’s instance.
These are aspects of #Mastodon which may make it “slow” but which I consider brilliant.
For the newcomers to #mastodon via the latest #twittermigration , welcome! You will find a diverse group of people here, all looking to find their new tribe. Help people out and use #hashtags in your posts on the interests you want to find. That is how we find each other.
Favorites(Likes) do not affect the algorithm because there is none! Liking a post is purely an expression of appreciation, and we all like getting them!
Boosting is retweeting.
And Bob's your uncle! Have fun.
#Mastodon #Hashtags #FollowHashtags
Did you know that you can follow hastags on Mastodon?
I didn't until last night when I downloaded Tusky and saw the category "Followed Hashtags" under "Account Preferences."
So, I looked it up and successfully added #AAPI, #StopAsianHate and #SFGiants as "followed hastags" to my account.
Now, any posts which include these hashtags will be included automatically in my timeline. 🙂
--------------------------------------
I assume there are others but this is the article I used as a primer to learn low to do it:
I'm also trying out the Mona app beta for iOS, which is intended to be compatible to multiple platforms including Mastodon and Misskey. It's not doing too hot while logged in this account, but it's the first multi-platform app on iOS so far. #fediverse #hashtags #calckey #misskey #mastodon #fediverseapps #MonaApp
With the #Twittermigration, so many good posts are lost because people don't know yet the main differences.
1. You get much more #boosts and feedback if your posts are inclusive for people with sight impairment = if they have #ALTText https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-make-posts-more-accessible-to-blind-people-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/
2. #Hashtags are the glue. The search works with hashtags, not words. People subscribe to their favourite hashtags. Hashtags mean community by topics. https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon/
Learning my way around antennas in Calckey. Basically the same idea behind Mastodon web's boolean-ish hashtag search, but also options for pulling from select users and select instances.
Drawback: doesn't seem like there's a way to create a combined antenna which pulls from 2 or all 3 sources at once, i.e., If I wanted to pull from both all posts containing a keyword or more as well as all posts from select instances.
Still, Misskey/Calckey's antenna feature is a good feature to have. #fediverse #search #hashtags #calckey #misskey #mastodon #antennas

@J12t @chrismessina … ehm - I thought #hashtags are actually very important to follow in the fediverse, as they are crossing all servers … so why wouldn’t it show up in my feed ??
@breadandcircuses also, follow #hashtags!
Even more handy:
1. Follow a lot of #hashtags (and set up a healthy number of word filters to scrub out the hateful stuff you don't want to deal with in social media)
That way, you can eventually find those interesting people you want to follow.

@karadanvers Hashtags have value in topically consolidating search results when clicked. I'm not convinced that is a feature for old or dumb people but would argue that it's a clever and resourceful tool for aggregating elusive data content. #hashtags

@johnhobbs There are a few key things that help on mastodon:
(1) #HASHTAGS - Text search is disabled on this platform, which means the only searchable text is text that is #hashtagged. Without hashtags, your post will only be found by people that follow you and happen to be online when you post it.
@52square The Fediverse works differently than Insta. Why #hashtags are important: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon/ - how you can filter them: https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/ - and how to follow: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-follow-hashtags-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

No Full text search, but #hashtags
The worst system ever invented, except for all the others
example (sorry to the OP, no harm intended)
also, photographers seem to be the group that most goes to excess with tags; I guess it is cause many are gearheads
And as I touched on our next step, that I hope will be ready to demo for #fediforum next week will be a search engine for all the posts of the verified journalists and news orgs.
You'll be able to use boolean search beyond just #hashtags and we hope that is game-changer, because content discovery is a major problem on Mastodon.
#RSS will be supported for the results.
@sufloese … in einer anderen (en) Diskussion gab es eine Art vorläufiges Kompromiss-Ergebnis:
1. Hier (#Mastodon & #Fediverse) aktiv posten (weil das natürlich auch die Anzahl qualitativer #Kultur toots / Inhalte steigert ;-)
2. Drüben (#twitter) durchaus für Info s & Kontakte noch (passiv) nutzen, aber lieber kopieren als retweeten oder cross-posten
3. Dort drüben dann aber gerne (und extra) auch regelmäßig “Werbung” für Masto machen - und/ oder bei “Kampagnen” wie #joinmastodonday oder #LeaveTwitterDay mitmachen
3. abwarten und geduldig sein (denn wenn schon auch #Medium oder #Mozilla im fediverse auftauchen, wächst das fediverse auch langsam an Substanz …
4. auch gerne außerhalb / offline aktiv dezentrale Social Media promoten (z.B. bei Museen, Organisationen, Institutionen …)
5. viel mehr #hashtags, #Followers & andere tools benutzen - aktiv suchen & folgen - ein neues Netzwerk etablieren …
was noch ?
@bmerberg I'd usually say send an intro tagged with #introduction so people can share it - But you did that.
. Follow anyone who seems interesting, you can always unfollow later.
. Share generously! That's how stuff gets an audience, and gets to different servers on Mastodon.
. Likes don't do anything for the post, but liking is nice as a thank-you to the poster.
. Use #lots #of #HashTags and capitalise every word for screen-readers.
. Add a description of every photo you post.
@davidaugust You've discovered the power of #Hashtags
@larena @blurrybitsphoto It's frustrating to search on a hashtag and find posts that are only peripherally (at best) related to that hashtag. A few specific tags are better than a bunch of loosely related ones.
@blurrybitsphoto I just confirmed (by translating a post with lots of hashtags) that DeepL.com, which my instance uses to translate posts, also translates hashtags. So it is NOT necessary to include #birds or #NaturePhotography or such in two or three different languages. One will suffice.
How will #hashtags on #Tumblr (w spaces) vs on #fediverse (no spaces) be rationalized?
bc w spaces, Tumblr #’s are #content adding #irony #commentary #jokes #fun — NO WAY that goes away
(reboosts welcome)
As good as folks are getting at including alt-text to their photos, I notice another trend increasing amongst photographers-
No-text posts, just a big blue pile of hashtags. #derp
Tacky guys, just tacky.
If you’re hitting Mastodon like you’re some kind of ‘competitor’, that’s already foolish to begin with.
Stop n smell the open source flowers - and make some damn human-readable text while you’re at it.
*Tries to use #Hashtags now
@amiserabilist @Hey_Beth @LoganFive I’ve been here a while and I’m still trying to find a happy medium for hashtags. I do use them more here. #hashtags
So before I joined Mastodon, I read a couple of articles about it, and they said, "Use a lot of hashtags! A LOT!" And I said, "OK!" to myself aloud. So I've been using a lot of hashtags, but as I look at my feed...I don't think a lot of people use many hashtags. And one friend mentioned that they find them annoying.
So when should a person use hashtags? Just for very specific topics (e.g., #StarTrek)? And maybe to make a joke?
Do you like to use #hashtags? Or do you just leave them out?
Thanks!

By increasing accessibility, you also increase your audience AND the people willing to share your work.
For screen readers, I am told that having #Hashtags in every #other word is #annoying. Also it looks bad on screen. We have 500 characters try and put # at the bottom of the post.
In the next post I'll discuss alt-text.

Hello #new #Mastodon users! Welcome!
Three pieces of advice to help you adapt to the differences between this place and the bird site:
1 . Be sure to complete your bio and upload a profile image of some kind.
2. Follow maybe 200 interesting people right away. Otherwise the place will seem dead, because there are no algorithms to point content at you.
3. Make a point of using #hashtags about 20 times as often as you did on the bird site.
Have fun! This place is much better.
@adamgreenfield @shrinkthinks @JustSaba yes! i am hopeful that the #Fediverse can help with that; in fact, my own shift in thinking happened also through migrating from Twitter to Mastodon, and finding so many people who are already quietly doing that on here. I see so much potential in building and strengthening networks right here, and helping each other and connecting through things as simple as #Hashtags.
I've been poking around in the codebases of various #Mastodon apps, and run across lists of followed #Hashtags and lists of.. #Lists… that aren’t being displayed in alphabetical order and it was driving me nuts. Why?
Then I realized perhaps it’s because sorting alphabetically might not actually WORK in all #Languages. Is that why these aren’t sorted?
Seems like you could make decisions to sort or not based on the majority of your user demographics.
@CliffWade @EighthLayer
A mix of both. Some #hashtags in the #body, while others go at the end.
#answer #example
Where do you place your hashtags when you make a post here on Mastodon?
Please BOOST for maximum exposure to the #Fediverse
Thanks to @EighthLayer for the poll suggestion!
Could we limit the number of #hashtags on Mastodon?
New to Mastodon? Please take the time to do a couple of things.
1) Change your profile picture to something personal/meaningful about you as a person.
2) Fill in your bio. Tell everyone what things you're into, what #hashtags you are interested and anything else that helps us get to know you.
These things help give you an identity here that will help others know if they share the same interests as you.

Welcome to Mastodon! I'm excited to see more and more people making the jump and showing up here.
One thing new members quickly learn is it's a lot more fun if you follow a kazillion people. That's the best way to get your timeline going!
Also, there's no algorithm pushing stuff at you or anyone else, so boost :boost: whatever you'd like other people to see.
Write an #Introduction post, and don't forget to #HashTag your posts, and follow the #HashTags of things you want to keep up with.
Enjoy! 👏
@KimPerales I'm also trying to get accustomed to using them. Mastodon only does searches on #HashTags. Also I like to capitalize the first letters of words in them so screen reader software splits the words properly. It also help everybody split them into words easier.
The #hashtags #fahernista, #openweb, #dotcons, #4opens, #geekproblem, #techcurn, #nothingnew, #techshit and #encryptionists, all embody a similar story and world-view, which is the critique of the negative impact of technology and its development on society. They all express a concern that the #mainstreaming current state of technology is not aligned with the values of fairness, openness, and sustainability, and that it is being driven by the profit motives.
So everybody, what are your favourite unusual #Hashtags you've come across?
#LichenSubscibe and #Florespondence have to be the best names, but also creative kudos to #Mosstodon #Frostodon #FensterFreitag #SilentSunday and we'll suggest #TileTuesday too.
Give us your favourites below 👇
@CreativeNewman I think the go-to is to start searching on #hashtags for things you are interested in and have a pinned #introduction post to have people in the network find you as well to help build up people to follow, and follow-back.
Also, while there is no algorithm to recommend posts, you will see posts that are RT'd by those that you do follow and #Explore tab on your client will show trending posts across your local and federated network.

I’m finding #Mastodon is much better than #Twitter for having discussions about topics I’m interested in. Trying to figure out why. I think it’s primarily for two reasons:
1. It’s a smaller community.
2. You can follow hashtags and they get placed in your home timeline.
Speaking of #hashtags, if you aren’t using them in your posts then you’re not reaching people who are interested in the same things as you.
New in Graze 1.3 for Mastodon:
"Follow #hashtags from remote instances, discovery everywhere"
The dream is ALIIIIIVE!

Hashtags. Where do they belong? In-line in the text or appended at the end? It’s a matter of preference clearly, since there seems to be a pretty even split in my timeline.
My preference is for end-note style hashtags. Why?
1. For many of us with vision or visual processing issues, interspersing hashtags throughout the post makes it harder to read and comprehend.
2. For people relying on screen readers, interspersed hashtags means hearing the word hashtag over and over again while listening to your post.
3. I like end-notes.
So, what’s your preference? Tell us why in the comments.
I think #IceCubesApp should remind you that you should add #hashtags to your post before posting. Maybe I could even plug something smart to auto add tags where it make sense? I always forgot to add them.
@icevislab Well done adding in the #hashtags. Welcome!
Ahoy! So thrilled to see more and more making the jump.
One thing we've learned in the few weeks since we arrived is, it's way more fun here if you follow a kazillion people.
Also, there's no algorithm pushing stuff in your way, so boost everything you want other people to see!!
Write an #intro post, and don't forget to #hashtag and follow the #hashtags of things you want to keep up with.
… also spending time thinking about #snowboards #snowboarding, vintage #burton swag, #lego for kids (esp #solar #solarpunk lego!). Living in #greenwichvillage #nyc, but bouncing back and forth between #kingston #hudsonvalley and #mountsnow #vermont. Not a big fan of #hashtags, but also not a big fan of Elon… so I’ll suck it up for now. 👍🏼
@icevislab Welcome to Mastodon!
1st tip: use #hashtags. Please. The software depends on us tooters using hashtags to filter things in -and out- of our feeds.
2nd tip: the Fediverse isn't the birdsite. We're here to do good, discuss, share, interact, not build followings.
3rd tip: show appreciation. If you like what someone has written, tell them by liking/starring. If you want your friends to see it, boost it.
