  1. @Howard Howard, following 'hashtags as contacts' as I do by use of hashtag.place works very good!

    I created a 'relay user' on my (#Friendica) instance and since a few month I use this user for adding/following hashtags via hashtag.place and (just a few) good bot accounts.

    I find it advantageous that only my relay user is 'friends' with the hashtags, the subscribed tags, or better: the posts above them) are available throughout my entire instance.

    And yet I don't 'mess up' the contact list on my regular account 'slowblogger'.

    I don't know exactly whether it works the same way on mastodon systems, but actually it should work in a similar way.

    It's worth trying this out. As well as putting enough (good & detailed) hashtags in your own posts or answers. :wink:

  5. @Curator Personally I prefer hashtag search, but I know some dislike it.
    But this feels like it is for the interoperability between mastodon.social and the opt-in instances and #META / #Threads - I rather suspect it might be.

    I think a lot of it stems from Mastodon users wanting to be searchable and discoverable but the only way to opt-in to this is unfortunately by using a lot of hash-tags. If toots were searchable this wouldn't be necessary.

    The universeodon.com instance has implemented a custom feature for searching text in posts which I've been trying out and it's great. I'm all for discoverability without having to use hashtags as long as it respects those who choose not to be.

    I'm hoping to see adoption of a way to fulltext search being implemented soon. 😊 It's being discussed over on GitHub.

  23. 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:

    #hashtag #search #mastodon #timeline #tutorial #AdvancedView #MastodonSearch #HashtagSearch #HashtagFollow #ColumnView #PinColumns

  27. @MeidasTouch Hey! #Important #MastodonTip!

    You need to use #more #hashtags because #Mastodon doesn't allow full-text search, only #HashtagSearch. If you want #people to #FindOut about #YourOrganization, you #need to use #hashtags !

  32. I have wondered which posts I see when I search a hashtag (or if it's in a column, or I follow it...). This flowchart (axbom.com/mastodon-tips/#flowc) by @axbom seems to say that the search scope is the local instance + federated timeline. Posts get to the federated timeline if someone on my instance follows the tooter or boosted or replied to the toot; or if the instance uses relays to grab public feeds of other instances then it's all those toots too. :ggbridge:

  42. CW: Testing: search #hashCW in CW header

    @edevere17 and I would like to check whether #HashtagSearch works both for keys in the CW header and for keys in the main text, or only for one of these.

    I will publish this post now and a little later I will do 2 searches, first for the key I've put into the CW above and then for the key #hashTEXT. Let us see which of these two searches will find my message.

    I will update (by self-reply to this post) later on.

    Any insights into these issues, please share!

  47. Hey @seb or @cd24 or anyone... I am trying to confirm an assumption about hashtag searches. When I search a hashtag, or have pinned a hashtag column, I will only see the posts that my instance knows about, right? In other words, my search scope is essentially the federated timeline on sfba.social?

    So for example, if I search for #coffee, I will only see posts by people on our instance and anyone who sfba users follow from other instances. Right?
