Just to clear up some confusion about how hashtag following works on Mastodon apps: If you follow a hashtag on Mastodon, posts from those followed tags will be visible on your home timeline on the website AND in all the apps. So, for example, you could log in through your server's website, follow the tags you want, and then go back to using your favourite app. If you want to follow more tags, you can currently only do that through a website or Android apps Fedilab & Subway Tooter. #Mastodon

    @feditips@mstdn.social But there's no way to see which hashtags you follow, right? That's a real bummer, I think, because you can lose the overview.

  • @feditips@mstdn.social following #hashtags is such a powerful feature that I hope it is moved to an obvious location, such as settings, and given more prominence. Otherwise, it will be very easy to overlook.

    @feditips@mstdn.social it may be worth noting to the dev team that a majority of users coming over from Twitter will rarely log onto a desktop site, if ever. They’re all used to the mobile apps having a richer experience, not the other way around. That's certainly not to say a rich desktop experience is wrong or bad, but I mean most people I know don't even own devices that can access a desktop site anymore.

    @feditips@mstdn.social hi- great tips thanks. One annoying thing I’ve found is when you’re typing a hashtag it auto generates suggestions in alphabetical order based on your typing- so often brings up badly spelled one’s first. Could it generate them based on usage rather than. Alphabetical order? #Mastodon

  • @feditips@mstdn.social Thanks for this feature, I need some newbie help. I'm on mastodon.social, and I searched on #Trump and the results are limited to the last 2 days and there is no hashtag at all for #Trump. Am I doing something wrong. (I also tried this for 5 other people I research and see the same results)

    @feditips@mstdn.social @Tusky@mastodon.social now how do I search a specific hashtag without being offered all embellishments except the hashtag itself? For example, search #football will bring up #FootballHistory , #FootballWorldCupTickets , etc. I usually have to scroll all the way down to find plain #football.. or worse, selecting those other hashtag in hope to find the plain one next to it.
