Are you finding zero results for hashtag searches on Mastodon?

Don't worry, just ignore the numbers and click on the tag you want to see your actual search results!

The numbers appear if you're logged into Mastodon through your server's website.

They say zero for most tags due to a highly misleading interface design.

I've reported this as a bug, if any of you are on Github you can give it a thumbs up so the developers know you want it fixed too:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

p.s. If you click through and there really aren't any results, but it's an obviously popular tag which should have reults, then it might be the server is being overwhelmed by the vast number of new members 😁

If that's the case, give it a few hours so the server admin has time to fix things.

@feditips thanks for reporting! I faced this literally two weeks ago and it confused me quite a bit, hope this will be fixed soon :D

For the small number on the left, yes, but not for the large number on the right.
