"When are hashtag follows going to work"
they work very well for me now. See?
If you follow the tag, you show in the participants, but unidentified, like its a group.
Tagging into abused overused tags with a potential refinement for better-quality relevant material is something I'm checking. #hashTagFollow
#mastoPt has a few posts, I just followed it.
BUT including the "." breaks tags. If you /follow/ the tag and post -- or even just /reply/ using it for relevant good-quality material -- it builds-up when people see it is active. #portugal #hashTagFollow
I'm sick of all this US crap.
When are hashtag follows going to work?
Oh huh! I hadn't realised that it *IS* possible to have an additional hashtag search column without actually following it. (Following the tag would clutter your normal Home timeline.) Do not click Follow for the tag but instead open Settings for the column and Pin it, then Settings again to add other tags if you want. An example I recorded:
An experiment for someone who is investigating following hashtags on different clients. #HashtagFollow
This is a #HashtagFollow test. It is only a test. If it had been a real toot, it would have had sparkling insights, deadly snark, and a cute picture of a baby capybara.
#HashtagFollow … for reasons
Testing #HashtagFollow test
#HashtagFollow and then some random words. Hope this helps.
Here's a #HashtagFollow post for you, Ralf.
This is a #HashtagFollow test toot.
I just tried the feature with my account (the one I am also posting this from) and the hashtag: #HashtagFollow. Works as intended. In my home timeline on my home server I do see all new posts with this hashtag. This includes posts from users on remote instances whom I do not follow.
#HashtagFollow (toot for admin)
I am investigating issues around following hashtags in various Mastodon clients. If some of you folks could publish posts with #HashtagFollow without mentioning me or replying, please.
Thanks everyone who played our #SongsOrMoviesAboutRIPtwitter 9 o'clock #HashtagGames tonight.
I'll see you Saturday night at 9pm EST for another round.
Keep playing, if you like.
Don't forget to #HashtagFollow #HashtagGames so the new games show up in your home timeline.
#FediLab here, which, I understand, can actually follow #hashtags.
But, I also understand #hashTagFollow is a v4-only feature, AND you can set it up on your account with the standard desktop web UI and then it'll work everywhere. If you're on a v4 instance, I guess.
I haven't tried it.
Admin has got to do, what admins got to do. (Oder so ähnlich).
