Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #hashtagging, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Over there on algorithm-driven social platforms I thought I sucked at #hashtagging because my posts went largely ignored. Mastodon has taught me that I probably suck at creating content.

    I dunno...

    The person who asked on the podcast is way more reasonable than the person (@kapsar) who assumed bad faith from the get go without putting even in the slightest effort to investigate.

    Even if I still don't get the point of #hashtagging #every #noun in a #toot.

  3. @jeff @ericdano @mikeblake @carnage4life Something I've long suspected keeps hashtag traffic down: I'm perfectly happy for anyone to search my posts, but I don't want to look like a #selfpromoting #hashtagging #SEO #spammer in all my #mastodon posts. Also, if you use #inlinehashtags, #hashtagslookbad and #hashtagsarenotreadable.

    Basically, I feel like there are more drawbacks from including hashtags (people that follow me thinking my posts are spammy and/or low quality) than including them (making my posts [barely] searchable).
