I don't understand why @bot exists when you can subscribe to hashtags. What's the value-add?

@bradwilson @dotnetbot for small instances, hashtag search is not good. Only shows posts that somehow federated to your instance which in my case is just me. But I can follow the bot directly to make sure they get here.

@matt @dotnetbot I guess you're assuming that all the hashtags would end up on dotnet.social, which isn't necessarily true either, but probably more true for your small instance. So you're still not getting everything... just more.

Reasonable use case then, I guess, but it sort of suggests that such bots should be on the biggest possible server.
