@FediTips yes!

And following hashtags is a great way to fill your timeline with nice surprises that are relevant to your interests.

Every app has a different method of following them, but here’s how it looks in the main UI (web and mobile).

Most apps have a comparable method.

Just click or tap on a hashtag and you’ll see this. And if you want to explore hashtags in your browser, just add the following to your instance domain:

/tags/TagName

Screenshot of the mobile UI. The header shows a hashtag with an adjacent button with the label ‘follow hashtag.’

In terms of how I operate on social media:

🗣️ I tend to post a lot 😅
🤬 …often with colorful language (but happy to edit it back out if it'll help you boost a useful post!)
🙄 I don't actually over-use emojis / - just doing that here to be cute 🤣
💩 I love(d) and occasionally make dumb shitposts 😒
and 👴
My content is typically equal parts chatter about my , navelgazing/whining, and random microblogging/life observations (pets, house, tech, EVs)

I forgot that Threads developed its own tagging system outside of more common hashtags used elsewhere.

I remember the back and forth about it when they rolled it out, and personally not being that bothered by it.

Most of the time, tags are used within a sentence so it isn't noticeable. However when added to the end of a post like this example and pushed to the Fediverse, the result can seem confusing.

Threads post from @thekenyeung@threads.net that was federated to Mastodon: 

"What's the best place to park near the @boeing Everett factory and a good location to stake out to photograph the worker's strike? Photographers of Threads"

Btw Mastodon is the best because folks actually use and follow hashtags. The posts attract people who are enthusiastic in things. In other places the hashtags feel pointless, nobody ever looks at them. They are just fuel for algorithms.

Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name subjects and topics that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

Here are some of my pet :

Edit: this isn't a joke lol but only if we hit the goal. I enjoy the maximum silly streams but sometimes you gotta work for it.

If my Patreon hits $100 a month before October I'll get Horny-High and do a Smash or Pass stream of all Tattle Log enemies in Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake. (it's already halfway there! $50 more to go)

I just figured out how to use @phanpy's "Catch Up" feature and it's even more awesome than I thought!

It starts by loading up all the posts in your up to some point in history.

Then it lets you filter and sort the timeline in various ways.

The cool part is you can filter by followed and muted words as well!

And the whole time it breaks down the visible posts by user, so you can identify the noisiest users in you follow, or people who spam a !

Bon, j'ai finalement une liste des hebdomadaires, j'ai compilé plusieurs vieux trucs, mes propres recherches, vos réponses, et j'ai vérifié ce qui était encore utilisé.
Mon but n'est pas de ressusciter des !
(Et je n'ai pas mis ceux utilisés juste par 4 personnes en boucle !)

(D'ailleurs c'est drôle de voir qu’il y a des personnes qui essayent de lancer leur tag tous les jours ^^)
(ça ne prend pas !)

Bref, la liste !

Lundi :
: Tout ce qui peut vous motiver un lundi matin... je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce hashtag est autant utilisé du coup 😆
: photos en monochrome, majoritairement en noir et blanc

Mardi :
: principalement des conseils lecture, mais aussi de culture en général ou même d'autres thèmes !
: vos plus belles pâtisseries que ce soit maison ou de boulangerie !
: pour voir des troncs d'arbre ! Écoutez, je pensais pas, mais c'est cool !
: des tigres, des tigres, et encore des tigres, c'est vraiment cool !
: Pour partager sa musique. (On n’oublie pas qu'il y a d'autres hashtags pour ça, si vous ne voulez pas poster le mardi 😉 )
: comme TuesdayTiger, mais avec des tortues ! Moins utilisé, mais j'aime beaucoup les tortues 😁

Mercredi :
: des mini récits de fiction, un peu un Writever du mercredi et sans thème !
: pour montrer un travail en cours, souvent artistique/manuel, mais pas que
: vous voulez des frimousses d'animaux à moustaches ?! C'est par ici !
: de l'eau qui tombe, des cascades quoi ! C'est rafraîchissant par ce temps, on ne va pas se mentir !

Jeudi :
: récemment inventé par nos linguistes d'ici, des petits bouts d'écriture manuscrite !
: pour les jeux de société majoritairement !
: un petit tour dans votre passé !

Vendredi :
: pour partager vos lectures, bonnes ou mauvaises !
: pour donner de la visibilité à des personnes que vous suivez ici
: du champignon mignon !
: principalement des vues jolies ou insolites à travers des fenêtres de tout genre ! Les photos sont vraiment belles pour le coup, ce n’est pas du "à l'arrache" ^^ !
: pour des fleurs, n'oubliez pas le les autres jours !

Samedi : les chats, rien que les chats !
et pour mettre à l'honneur les rois et reines du monde !

Dimanche :
: pour des paysages reposants
: un peu pareil, mais avec aussi toute autre évocation de la lenteur qui fait du bien !

Voilà, faites-vous plaisir à suivre ces hashtags et à les alimenter !

(et moi je n’ai pas spécialement trouvé mon bonheur, mais je vais me débrouiller ^^)

If you want your post's hashtags to appear separately from your actual content when viewed through the website, put them right at the end of the post with a blank line just above them.

I've attached an image to this post so you can see the post's hashtags displayed below it if you're viewing through the web.

Apps will probably display the tags as normal.

(By the way, this is purely for aesthetic purposes. It makes no difference to how the hashtags function.)

Text saying "If you view this post through the web interface, the hashtags will be displayed down there." followed by an arrow pointing downwards towards the area underneath the post.

Welcome to !

Here are a few resources to get you started.

1. A great intro: wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futu

2. fedifinder.glitch.me/ finds people you followed, on Mastodon! You can bulk-follow them.

3. Follow many people, from many different instances, to feed both your personal as well as your instance's federated timeline. It's easy to un-follow later. Use boost often.

4. Use ! There is no algorithm selecting "top posts" for you; instead, trends are built on hashtags.

Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.

It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

Took all weekend, but finally got the desk sorted! I have the 32-bit corner, the current corner, and the 8-bit corner!

The nest of upscaler, KVM, and input selector cables is truly horrifying. But it all works!

We’re looking at moving into somewhere bigger soon, so we can have a proper “computer lab”. But super happy for this for now :’)

(And 16-bit stuff like an Amiga or Atari 1040ST would be incredible, but also no space right now!)

Desk showing (from left to right) the 32-bit PC stack (although technically the 386SX is kinda 16-bit), the current desktop, and the Apple //e and Commodore stuff. One day I’ll hopefully have space to not need all these KVMs, but for now it works :’)
