Kann ich eigentlich via #hashtags themenspezifische timelines erstellen?
Ich weiß natürlich das ich denen folgen kann aber dann tauchen die halt nicht separat auf.
ich merke immer wieder dass mein #Mastodon Account auf #sueden.social mehr Beiträge anhand von #Hashtags findet, als mein #Friendica Account auf #anonsys.net.
Wenn ich auf Friendica den Beitrag von Mastodon dann manuell über die Suche aufrufe, dann wird er als Empfangen angezeigt.
Gibts hier irgendwelche Tricks? Wird wohl auch an der Größe der Instanz liegen.
Ich hatte mal testweise Mastodon Instanzen per RSS abonniert. Genauer Hashtags als #RSS. Das hat dann mehr Beiträge nach Friendica gespült. Irgendwann waren diese aber dann doppelt und dreifach, weshalb ich das Experiment wieder aufgegeben habe.
Is there a #mastodon client (iOS or mobile web) that has a followed #hashtags feed? I’ve seen many that allow you to see a list of the hashtags you’re following and drill in to any specific one. But I’m looking for a consolidated feed that is made up of matches to any/all followed hashtags.
These are the guidelines that I follow about boosting or not boosting something. These guidelines make sense to me. I do not care if they make sense to you or not. I also reserve the right to make rare exceptions when I see it fit, but I have to warn you that I don’t need to be consistent with my exceptions, and that a post has to hit a specific note for me to ignore my rules.
Also, I’ll note here that your popularity elsewhere, or even in the fediverse, does not matter. I regularly don’t boost posts by celebrities who do not use hashtags.
Ultimately, you don’t get to decide how I apply my rules.
Understood?
I try to be a considerate booster. If you know me at all, you know that I don’t like people who have nothing to say but boost all the things. Ironically, I eventually catch on to their shenanigans and end up muting them, so I don’t see all the things that they boost, and they want me to see so badly. If I follow you, it is because I’d like to hear about you. Conversely, I’m selective in my boosting, for the reasons given above.

By far, the most common case in which I see a post that I would like to boost, but don’t, is when it has no hashtags. This is not merely my own itch that I’m trying to scratch here. Some people do not want to see certain types of contents. Proper tagging helps them know what your content is about, and helps them filter out this content if they don’t want to see it.
For these people, this filtering is self-care. When you post a post without tags, then they cannot care for themselves.
I also don’t boost posts that are merely “boost this post if you [something banal.]” Things like “please boost if you like cats,” “please boost if you are above 50,” etc. Note that I do not include in this group well written posts that ask to boost for awareness. Boosting for awareness is generally worthwhile, whereas boosting for the platitudes I put above ain’t.
Furthermore, I no longer boost posts that are from objectionable sources. Fox News is the prime example here. If it is newsworthy, there is certainly another source you could have picked. If Fox News is the only source, it is most likely a lie. In fact, I don’t even see these posts anymore because I filter them out.
Finally, I don’t boost posts that are just a link. Oh, maybe the link itself gives an idea of what the page I’m going to find at the other end is all about. Maybe I even follow that link and think what a great article! I won’t boost. I hate naked links in posts. Tell us why you agreed or disagreed with the article you link to.
I probably have more rules, but they are not coming up to mind right this moment, and are likely not as important as the rules above.
The ability to add columns in Mastodon advanced webview where you can follow multiple (!) hashtags is really wonderful. In that way you can describe a subject with the most used hashtags and follow all messages separate from your timeline. #tips#fediverse#mastodon#hashtags
The thing that trips me up about making hashtags accessible on social media, by capitalizing each word JustLikeThis, are words like WordPress, or ActivityPub.
I'm guessing these should be all lowercase, so that screen readers don't read these as two separate words?
I'm really starting to see the benefits of allowing spaces in hashtags.
I have the honor of guest-hosting #ILikeToWatch tomorrow, which also happens to be #420day 🫠
#Trivia ~ I started building this playlist in December. At one point, a month ago, it comprised over 100 videos. Since then, it's been whittled down to 18 and I'm still tweaking it. 😅
We depart at 10pm (EDT)
All are welcome. Bring your own munchies 😎
I have the privilege of guest-hosting #ILikeToWatch this week. Since Saturday is also #420day, expect an hour of aural delights. 🫠

#Trivia It would have been easy, but boring, to fill the hour with songs about weed. Instead, I opted for music and video appropriate for the gummy experience.

Don't worry. It's not gonna be 60 minutes of weed songs. That would be boring. 🫠
