  3. A #Fediverse tech idea I've been considering for a while.

    Hashtags can sometimes be annoying, right? Their primary application is finding posts related to a certain topic, including following one. Therefore, if I look for "horses", I want to find everything horse-related.

    The following hashtags should therefore lead to the same set of posts:
    - #horse
    - #horses
    - #equines
    - #equine
    - #horsetodon

    Right? But that's not a reality. Some people tag with one of them, with multiple, or with none at all.

    Similarly, #Döner, #Doener and perhaps even #Doner should lead to the same set of posts, right? And what about British-American-splits like how #Localization is #Localisation, and perhaps even #l10n as well? And #LGBT, #LGBTQ, #LBGTQ+, #LGBT+, #LGBTQIA and so on and so on also really should be one hashtag.

    So what to do?

    I propose:
    We should introduce a second symbol for something like "fuzzy hashtags". Not the '#' symbol, but another; perhaps '&' or '~'.

    That way I could tag my post '~horse', and it could appear on all hashtag feeds concerning the different spellings of horses! Or I could search for such a fuzzy hashtag.

    The different variants could be crowdsourced, or overridden by instance mods. You could also opt-out of that system - your posts showing up in fuzzy searches, most likely.

    This would also fix languages like German, where you have many inflected forms: #Männer #Mann #Mannes #Manns #Männern #Männers and so on should all lead to the same result.

    Behold what I have to do to sign off on this post:
