@mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org @ketmorco@fosstodon.org @farbel@mas.to @meganmariehart@mastodon.social Does it mean that if I post something without a hashtag, let's say in English it won't have a huge difference than if I post it with the hashtag? Or if I post with hashtag people who follow it will find it so there will be more engagement with the post? If hashtags are only like filters here, it means that this is the same like in Telegram where they are used to categorize posts in a channel and it doesn't make huge sense in using them then.

@Sevapopov@mastodon.ml @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org @ketmorco@fosstodon.org @meganmariehart@mastodon.social If you post something with the hashtag #science it is always boosted by the science bot. same with #news and a few others. If you search for a hashtag, you will find a whole lot of posts and people. If you follow one, posts featuring it will land in your feed. I gues what they are saying is that it won't be absolutely everything, but it is still a good tool.
