RE: https://mastodon.social/@CuratedRaphael/116364057426763890
had a feeling these art posts were slopped approximations and not scraped images of an artist’s work.
so i have to ask: who is creating these “Curated[artist-name]” accounts on dot-social?
i strongly suspected the slopping with Goya drawings. am not a Goya scholar but i do know he is one of the most forged artists.
this CuratedRaphael is ridiculous because there’s about +250 years between him and George Washington.

Friends, if you haven't already, it would be a big favour to me if you could enable tags.pub to boost your public tagged posts.
Just search for @_followback in your Mastodon UI. Click the follow button there. (Don't try to follow from the profile page; it doesn't work yet.)
It will follow you back, and when you make a post with a hashtag in it, the server will boost your post from the appropriate hashtag.

OK, I have followed @_followback, so now the #Hashtags I use will be more widely distributed, to anyone who follows @Hashtags rather than just distributed those instances who happen to have someone who follows me.
And I have followed @bikenite so now I should be getting more #BikeNite messages, rather than just those that happen to come to my instance for other people on this instance.

Prepping local and broad #hashtags for covering our town's #NoKings event. Is there anyone coordinating or #media who wants to be tagged in updates?
I'll be putting primary tags on top for the Bsky #bridgyfed bridge so they are not truncated, the rest below.
Will try to to do alt tags on photos, but its difficult to stop and tag in real time at a protest, so some may be added later, sorry.
Any other advice for protest coverage on fedi?

@pawpower IMO hashtags should be used as a tagline or summary hence should always appear after the message body. Really not sure why people feel they need to put them up front and centre.

METTEZ DES HASHTAGS LES GENS la première chose que je fais pour convaincre quelqu'un'e de rejoindre le #fediverse, c'est de lui demander ce qui l'intéresse. La poterie ? J'ouvre le hashtag #poterie pour lui prouver dans la seconde qu'il y a du contenu pour elle, qu'elle peut trouver des gens avec qui partager, que ça vit. Si pas de contenu, je l'ai perdue.
Chaque hashtag est une vitrine qui doit montrer la vitalité du réseau.

@carnecrudaradio yo lo que suelo aconsejar siempre, es etiquetar bien los post con #hashtags relacionados. ¿Porqué? Porque en #Mastodon se pueden seguir #hashtags aparte de perfiles, y al ser descentralizado, es más fácil que llegues a más gente porque siguen el #hashtag que porque te encuentren.
Y de la misma manera, empieza a seguir #hashtags para empezar a visualizar contenido.

Your Home Feed is the inbox of an ActivityPub actor — in particular YOUR ActivityPub actor.
There could be an actor for each hash-tag, too.
You could even do Del.icio.us like things — and have actors for intersections of hash-tags, too.
These hash-tag actors' inboxes would need to be readable by anyone.

This could be a more ActivityPub like API alternative to Mastodon's "GET /API/v1/tags/{name}" API.

This will help people *find* your posts, as well as filtering them! It's a win-win!
(Also, please CamelCase your tags if they're more than 1 word. It makes them way more readable.)

Hashtags are the best. People have been talking about The Forkiverse for a couple of days as if everyone knows what it is.
Someone used the #Forkiverse hashtag so I clicked on it and ended up in an ocean of toots about it where I finally learned that it's a Fediverse instance made by some podcasters, and the instance gained traction from the podcast.
#hashtags rule. Use them.

Fun tip for anyone who's wondering how I got the "hashtags" in my last toot to not be *actual* hashtags: after the # symbol, and before the next letter, I put a Unicode Word Joiner character. That breaks up the string so it no longer counts as a hashtag, but also makes it so there can't be a line-break after the # symbol.

You can type one in Linux Mint by doing Ctrl+Shift+U then "2060" and Enter.

Six month ago today (17 July '25) I soft-launched #TagPush onto the fediverse. It's an idea I had smouldering in my head for a month or two. I saw two problems with #Hashtags on the Fediverse:
You can only find/follow hashtags, and posts of those tags, based on what your own server knows. If someone on another server posts with the tag, but your server doesn't get a copy, you will not see it.
Small servers suffer more due to lack of traffic.
The fundamental flaw (design) of the fediverse is that servers only see a subset of content.
Along came TagPush. Not rocket science by any means, by my one man attempt to automatically hoover up content from the fediverse, based on a tag. If you follow the TagpPush account for the tag you will then get the content pushed to you.
The tech behind it is simple. A #GoToSocial server manages the Fediverse comms for follows, boosts, etc. I have a python app doing the donkey work around the fediverse looking for content based on tags. It then boosts those out every 5 minutes or so.
Here we are, 185 days in, scooping up content for 48 hashtags and pushing them out to a total of 1,195 followers for tags. Amounting to 298,375 pushed posts (at the time of writing this). That's well in excess of quarter of a million posts. Wow!
Not bad for a simple idea.
More details here: https://verbamea.com/4dd1a1ca55
Happy to add more tags to be pushed - as long as there is regular content.

Friends,
Here on the #Fediverse, now more than ever -- if you're willing and able -- we need you to share the things that lift you up and help you keep going.
If it sparks #joy, please, PLEASE share and continue sharing with the class in the coming weeks and months.
If it brings a #smile to your face, consider sharing it no matter how small.
If you chuckle at something in your daily life and tell yourself "oh that's so dumb, I better not post it", that's exactly when you SHOULD post it.
If you think of a #DadJoke that could win awards for being so corny, it is your fiduciary duty as a #Fedizen to attempt to make us all groan at your #silliness.
Some of my most popular toots were my most flippant #shitposts (in contrast to ones I've poured hours into crafting, that get a sympathy fav or two and then vanish into the ether..). It might feel awkward at first, but if you keep #shitposting it's like exercising muscles; it gets easier the more you do it. Consider exercising your big brain muscle and then barf the results here for all the world to see.
I know #hashtags aren't as big here, and a lot of people are against them but I find them invaluable. (I do wish we had a bot that auto-generated a reply to posts with socially/contemporarily relevant hashtags.) Consider adding a contribution to #3GoodThings, or tuck a silly #shitpost in a bottle and toss it into the great and fascinating sea called the Fediverse. You might be surprised who might find it interesting.
We need to flood the zone with #kindness and #happiness because I believe that's how we recharge our emotional reserves.
In doing so, it helps us fortify ourselves against the onslaught of stormy weather that is our real-life world. (Or at least that's how *I* usually do it. [I recommend augmenting with generous doses of cannabis as needed. {consult your doctor first}])
Having said all of this, it's important to remember we must strive to provide #empathy to our fellow passengers. For some of us, this is the closest we can get to #therapy. If people share their struggles and challenges, I implore all of us to remember that #kindness and understanding are radical acts of decency.
Above all, protect yourself by blocking "early and often". You aren't obligated to continue hosting a visitor on your digital "porch". You can simply close the door. You don't even need to have a reason. It's *your* fucking door and there's nothing that says you're required to buy what they're selling -- especially if it feels like negativity. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I've never blocked someone and later thought, "oh gee, I shouldn't have blocked them so fast." It's generally the opposite.
Alright, my friends. Today your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to brainstorm the corniest damned joke you can think of, and post it. Don't mull it over, don't worry about if it makes sense -- post it. Toot it. Bop it. Shake it. Twist it.
Bring forth the moments and shitposts you wish to see in the world, each one a candle that lights our way on this long journey we call life.

Kleiner Tip für neue Menschen im Fediverse. Ihr könnt Hashtags sehr praktisch als Account @tag-<hashtag>@relay.fedi.buzz folgen. Im Gegensatz zum normalen Folgen von Hashtags ist damit jeder Hashtag ein eigener Account, den Ihr in Listen, Circles oder Kanälen organisieren und beispielsweise aus Eurer regulären Timeline ausschließen könnt.

I wonder if there's a way to write a #hashtag in plural form (e.g. #hashtags) but have only the singular part of the word be treated as a hashtag.
As far as I know, if I want to say “hashtags” but use the hashtag “hashtag”, I must write “#hashtag s”. Pretty ugly. Probably bad for screen readers too.
Opinions?

Corporate social networks are trying to kill the hashtag because they want users to only discover things through corporate algorithms 😩
Mastodon and the wider Fediverse love the hashtag as it allows humans to retain control of their feeds 🥰
You can use a hashtag to label a post with its main topics. More info about adding hashtags at https://fedi.tips/what-are-hashtags-how-do-i-use-them-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

Ist jemand im #Fediverse mit #Gotosocial unterwegs und hat auch das Problem dass er keine Beiträge mit #Hashtags empfängt?
Ich empfange nur Beiträge von Accounts, denen ich folge.
Hashtags kann ich jedoch normal suchen und abonnieren.
Hier gibts auch ein Issue dazu. Vielleicht konnte das auch mal jemand für sich lösen.

@SteveDuncan@mastodon.social · Reply to Caesar's post
@caesar Yeah, I was very excited by that too, but it doesn't support following #hashtags. Sad, because hashtags are one of the best parts of Mastodon for me, but a lot of tools and people just don't get it. And some actively even hate them (?!). I don't understand it.
I follow far more hashtags than people. Normal people post about lots of stuff I'm not interested in. Hashtags let me see stuff I am interested in, without having to go find the people and follow them first.

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.
there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

@reiver one of the problems we already have is there are too many social media platforms genealogists use. There are those left behind on FB, BlueSky where there is little real engagement, WikiTree not so much chat, still a few emails groups. Then there is #Mastodon with #hashtags #genealogy #Geneadons @geneadons @genealogy #genchat Do we really need another space - discuss!

This instance has 1500 users, all of them AI-generated, sending random spam to the fediverse in the form of posts with #hashtags that create fake trending topics. As I write this, 1,787,915 AI-generated posts with #hashtags have been detected (see images).
Example, see local endpoint:

This can also cause the databases of federated instances to waste resources and disk space by unnecessarily storing this garbage.

Oh nice, with the latest Mastodon update (shout-out to @Claire!), we should start seeing proper capitalization of hashtags more often.
"e.g. if the client had previously used # ClimateCrisis and the server is suggesting # climatecrisis, the UI will suggest # ClimateCrisis"

7/ For example, I see many #SocialMedia posts on these topics but not much convergence in the #hashtags. #Trump, #USPol, and #USPolitics are common but they're not specific to these topics. We need to supplement them with tags that are more specific.
#DefendResearch is new with the Feb 13 Declaration to Defend Research. (Disclosure: I'm a co-author.)

Let's play a game! To help 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. And be sure to Pin the post to your profile!
Here are some of my fave #hashtags:
+ #coffee
+ #beer
+ #linux
+ #cocktails
+ #music
+ #books
+ #boardgames
+ #movies
+ #videogames
+ #programming

Galera linda e novinha (ou até mais antiga) do #mastodon! Seguem algumas dicas para melhorar sua vida por aqui
Se achar longo, leia as 3 primeiras dicas e salve. Mas LEIA o resto!
É bem importante
Cuidem da sua bio
Coloquem uma foto, escrevam um textinho, mesmo que simples. Botem boas informações como gostos e hobbies no perfil
E uns toots (postagens) não fazem mal a ninguém, assim sai confundido com um 🤖
Faça a sua #introdução em um toot
Essa #apresentação é uma boa maneira de conhecer novas pessoas e interagir no #fediverso! O pessoal tem costume de dar
, então aproveite!
O #fediverso é construído com interações, então se quiser ser seguido é bom interagir 🦜 Mais em (por @pancho) https://bolha.one/@pancho/113135497401808790
Deixe sua linha do tempo bem viva! Além de seguir pessoas, é bom seguir e usar #hashtags por aqui
Conheça as várias @TagsBR que acontecem semanalmente
Também que podemos seguir e interagir com timelines de outras instâncias também. Muito bão isso
Abaixo (links) tem ótimas listagens de instâncias brasileiras (e até latino-americanas). Lembrem que SEMPRE pode mudar de servidor. Seu servidor, sua instância faz MUITA DIFERENÇA na sua experiência aqui no #fediverso. Se está achando sem graça ou só não está gostando tanto, pense em mudar
Ainda mais importante para quem está na mastodon.social que é a mais genérica possível. Quando mudei, tudo mudou
https://social.harpia.red/notice/AfFmRYvjOIPbOXJPxQ (por @kariboka) e https://brasil.rednet.social/ (por @santiago)
Use e teste diferentes aplicativos para ver o que mais gosta. Já usei vários e recomendo o @moshidon para #android (feito pelo @lucas_na_ursal). O #moshidon, por exemplo, permite interagir com a timeline de várias instâncias. Depois coloco uma recomendação aqui de um app para iOS.
Postou uma imagem, um gif ou um vídeo, coloque o texto alternativo. Isso é bem importante e valorizado por aqui. Eu mesmo só dou boost se tiver texto alternativo. Outra dica importante é descrever sua foto e capa do perfil
O #mastodon na web também pode ser acessado com interfaces alternativas como: elk.zone e https://phanpy.social. Experimente, o #fediverso é cheio experiências diferentes e proveitosas! Um mundo novo
Além da #hashtags você também podem seguir interagir com comunidades do Lemmy (Forum ou Reddit daqui) ou de grups. Basta seguir que vai aparecer na sua timelime e marcar em um toot para aparecer por lá ou para quem segue. Exemplo @ fediverso@a.gup.pe ou @ internet@lemmy.eco.br. Pode achar outras comunidades aqui:
Lemmy Brasil: https://lemmy.eco.br/communities
Forum da Ayom.Media:https://forum.ayom.media/communities
Forum da Bolha.us: https://bolha.forum/communities
O #fediverso tem muitas alternativas descentralizadas, então explore 🚀 Só alguns exemplos abaixo, existem muito mais🤘

Mastodon newbie here— When it comes to discoverability, is it better to use hashtags in the post itself, or is commenting after the fact with relevant hashtags still okay? Does the algorithm acknowledge key words at all, or is it solely reliant on hashtags?
@arlon@harpia.red
Tem algo na plataforma #Akkoma que me incomoda muito e ainda não sei o que é…
Quando eu participava do #Mastodon, me incomodava que não havia algum cliente que permitisse uma boa integração com outras plataformas do #Fediverso. Sem contar ainda que o Mastodon não permite alguns recursos que são triviais em outros espaços, como publicação em Markdown.
Passado mais de um ano no Mastodon, mudei para o Akkoma. Oba! Agora posso escrever publicações 10 vezes maiores, fazer uma pesquisa decente por posts federados (coisa que era impossível no Mastodon), e também publicar só para membros da minha instância. Mas os clientes do Akkoma em geral e por padrão espelham a lógica do #Twitter de engajamento profundo do usuário, colocando notificações chamativas e atualização automática da linha do tempo. Isso é muito evidente no Mangane, que é praticamente a interface moderna do Twitter. Além disso, eu tinha muitas dificuldades em ler textos longos, vindos de plataformas de macroblogging ou de discussão, como #Lemmy ou #Friendica
Por convite, entrei em um projeto praticamente em fase germinal, que imita o #Facebook oldschool, que funciona (mais ou menos) sem Javascript. Esse projeto chama-se #Smithereen. Frequentei por um bom tempo, selecionei alguns companheiros com que gostava de interagir em minha conta Akkoma, a dinâmica da plataforma era bem slow web, tinha uma boa interface para textos longos, tudo corria bem. Mas, projeto beta que era, havia ainda muitas brechas. Não havia uma boa integração com Lemmy (o que era uma pena, já que Smithereen é perfeito para se perder em leituras), e não havia suporte para #hashtags. Quando eu precisava audiência, acabava voltando ao meu perfil Akkoma.
Cá estou de volta. Por sorte, o cliente oficial do Akkoma permite personalizações. Tudo aquilo de que gostei no Smithereen, apliquei à interface. Agora consigo ler textos mais longos, escrever melhor os textos mais longos e a linha do tempo não atualiza automaticamente. No entanto, algo ainda me incomoda. Talvez eu esteja cansado da lógica de seguidores e seguidos, ou da linha do tempo cronológica, que possibilita pouco a exploração pelas publicações. Sei que é difícil encontrar um mínimo múltiplo comum no Fediverso, mas não queria ter mais de uma conta fediversal.
O que vocês pensam de tudo isso? Como tem sido a experiência de vocês na plataforma que estão?
Publicando este texto na comunidade @foss porque não encontrei nada específico para o Fediverso, onde esta discussão seria mais conveniente…

@reiver@mastodon.social
Mastodon should NOT count hash-tags towards its character-limit.
Doing so — counting hash-tags towards its character-limit — discourages the usage of hash-tags.
Which makes posts less searchable and discoverable. And hinder ad-hoc community formation.
@whoosh@techhub.social · Reply to technicat's post
Which app do you use? That's nice, except for having the tags in the post twice then. Screen reader users would have to listen to them twice.
In my post, it didn't pull out the "kDrama" hashtag from the content. I had included "kDrama" in my last-line-hashtags, but the Mastodon software removed it because it was already in the content. It only put the "hashtag" one down below.
@whoosh@techhub.social
I wanted to see the End of the Year drama challenge posts, but because I limit myself to Korean shows, I only wanted those tagged with #kDrama Hashtags!
Searching by multiple hashtags doesn't seem to work anymore. I discovered that if you are using a multi-column Fediverse reader, then you can:
1) search for a tag
2) pin it to a column
3) filter that column by additional tags
On my Tusky App for my phone, it looks like I can edit the filter to accomplish the same thing (but I haven't tried it yet).
Some other hashtag notes:
1) Currently you can't have a hashtag that is all numbers. If you want to write a year hashtag, try #year2024
2) Hashtags are better in CamelCase for screen readers
3) Accessibility pundits seem to be divided on mixing in hashtags or putting them at the end. BUT if you do put a blank line & then your hashtags, they will show up (in many Fediverse client apps, but not all) at the very bottom of the post, separated & often formatted a little differently.

What is a hashtag?
Fifteen years ago (fuck, I'm old) I started documenting what Twitter's nascent hashtags could and couldn't do.
Back in 2010, this is how the official Twitter site linked hashtags.

Notably, punctuation symbols didn't "count" as part of a tag.
How does modern social media handle something like #Fish&Chips?
What about normalisation?
Should #Romeo link to #ROMEO and #rOMeO?
On all three of the major social networks, case is insensitive.
But what about the vagueries of Unicode normalisation?
Is #Ŕöméø&Jülíèt the same as #Romeo&Juliet?
Both Threads and Mastodon do some form of decomposition - turning the various accents into their accentless versions.
But BlueSky links to the literal version.
Is that the right thing to do? I don't know.
This literal interpretation of the text in hashtags allows for some interesting steganography - which can be fun, but I wonder if it is what users expect?
And that's what it comes down to. What is technically correct isn't always the same as what users need.
Perhaps most users prefer #ROMEO to link to the same posts as #romeo. Perhaps they think #Romeó should link there too. But no social network, as far as I am aware, has done any user research into the behaviour that users want when interacting with hashtags.
I'd love someone to do some actual research on how people expect a folksonomy to work.

@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:

Intro to mastodon.
https://joinmastodon.org/servers
Pick any server, browse the global feed Explore and search for #hashtags or specific users, no need to join a server for that.
You need an account somewhere to follow hashtags and people, you can export your follows and import it on a new account if you want to change servers later.
Follow recommendations.

@LoganFive@beige.party
If you’ve just left Twitter/X or Bluesky, welcome! You’ve come to the right place.
There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.
Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.
If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.
One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.
You should also follow @FediTips for more detailed advice.

Here is some worthwhile #FediHelp for #Fediverse-#newbies #NewToMastodon:
[https://masto.ai/@broximar/109797846815697059
Delete, alas]
9. Follow MANY and follow the #hashtags (!!!) that interest you, as there is no algorithm.
10. Follow @feditips
11. Follow back after vetting of #posts and #bios.
12. Post interesting #toots.
13. Always reply to serious answers.
14. Boost posts of (avid) followers but generally generously #AAB--#AlwaysBeBoosting.
@andrewmelder@me.dm
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.

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.

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 #timeline 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 #hashtags 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 #hashtag!

Bon, j'ai finalement une liste des #hashtag 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 #hashtags !
(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 :
#MondayMotivation : Tout ce qui peut vous motiver un lundi matin... je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce hashtag est autant utilisé du coup 😆
#MonochromeMonday : photos en monochrome, majoritairement en noir et blanc
Mardi :
#MardiConseil : principalement des conseils lecture, mais aussi de culture en général ou même d'autres thèmes !
#MardiPatisserie : vos plus belles pâtisseries que ce soit maison ou de boulangerie !
#ThickTrunkTuesday : pour voir des troncs d'arbre ! Écoutez, je pensais pas, mais c'est cool !
#TuesdayTiger : des tigres, des tigres, et encore des tigres, c'est vraiment cool !
#TuneTuesday : 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 😉 )
#TurtleTuesday : comme TuesdayTiger, mais avec des tortues ! Moins utilisé, mais j'aime beaucoup les tortues 😁
Mercredi :
#MercrediFiction : des mini récits de fiction, un peu un Writever du mercredi et sans thème !
#WipWednesday : pour montrer un travail en cours, souvent artistique/manuel, mais pas que
#WhiskersWednesday : vous voulez des frimousses d'animaux à moustaches ?! C'est par ici !
#WaterfallWednesday : de l'eau qui tombe, des cascades quoi ! C'est rafraîchissant par ce temps, on ne va pas se mentir !
Jeudi :
#JeudiManuscrit : récemment inventé par nos linguistes d'ici, des petits bouts d'écriture manuscrite !
#JeuJeudi : pour les jeux de société majoritairement !
#ThrowbackThursday : un petit tour dans votre passé !
Vendredi :
#VendrediLecture : pour partager vos lectures, bonnes ou mauvaises !
#FollowFriday : pour donner de la visibilité à des personnes que vous suivez ici
#FungiFriday : du champignon mignon !
#WindowFriday : 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" ^^ !
#FlowerFriday : pour des fleurs, n'oubliez pas le #BloomScrolling les autres jours !
Samedi : les chats, rien que les chats !
#Chamedi et #Caturday pour mettre à l'honneur les rois et reines du monde !
Dimanche :
#SilentSunday : pour des paysages reposants
#SlowSunday : 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 ^^)
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
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.)
@swanksalot@toot.community
In lieu of an actual #introduction, here are some #hashtags I’m interested in reading & posting about, in no particular order of importance
(Part 1)
#chicago #WestLoop is where I live, but have lived/might live in the future #Austin #Toronto #London #California #Rome #Amsterdam
#history #politics #language #poetry #science #astronomy #physics
#art especially #photography but also #painting #sculpture #film #filmHistory
@varx@infosec.exchange
#Hashtags for being found by: I'm a #treehugger, #bicycle commuter, #SoftwareDeveloper, #ApplicationSecurity enthusiast, and #Linux user. I love #reading #ScienceFiction but have to parse it out slowly.
I'm something of a #hippie -- I go #barefoot much of the time, I don't have a smartphone (#NoSmartphone?), I try to "Eat Food, #MostlyPlants, Not Too Much". And I have a deep respect and love of #nature and its systems, even the uncharismatic parts.
I think #FreeSpeech is super important, but that it comes with the responsibility to #BeKind to others in the process.

Welcome to #Mastodon!
Here are a few resources to get you started.
1. A great intro: https://wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futuristic-mastodon-introduction-for-2021
2. https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ finds #Twitter 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 #hashtags! There is no algorithm selecting "top posts" for you; instead, trends are built on hashtags.

Welcome to sfba.social!
If you are #new, here are some things you can do to get going:
1) write a bio for your profile, using #Hashtags
2) write post as an #introduction post, with your current interests. Lots of #Hashtags there too!
3) Explore to find folks (you guessed it, #HashTags again!)
Be sure to read all three feeds:
-Local (sfba only, chronological)
-Home (people you follow) and
-Federated (people others in sfba follow)
Be nice and have fun!

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.

I'm also good with no one showing up at all and I have a perfectly curated set of #hashtags
It's nice here.

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!)

@deb_prothero Here on Mastodon, there is no algorithm to feed you new content. Everything is done with #hashtags. You are your own algorithm. Search the Fediverse (Mastodon is only a small part...) for hashtags that interest you. When you find people who seem like they'd be either a good debate sparring partner, or who you'd like to get to know better, add them, see their interests, and broaden your own.
This is the platform that lets YOU grow to become more, and gives YOU total control over what you see and who you interact with, without the influence or interference from bots or other computer-based decision-making software.

#YSK #FediTipps
① Use
https://github.com/tateisu/SubwayTooter
② Read popular toots https://botsin.space/@topst @trendytoots and on that explore page of your instance
③ Dig global Trends on https://fedi.buzz Follow Hashtags + Instances on https://relay.fedi.buzz
E.g. large topic-specific instances (for serendipity)
④ Put slow followees (for quality) in a separate list. #fomo
⑤ search opt-inned accs across instances: https://tootfinder.ch
⑥ Post pics (alt-text!); follow many; use #HashTags; mention groups (https://a.gup.pe or https://lemmy.world/communities) and users.
⑦ Attach audio to your toots. Add ".rss" to your acc's or tag's url to host a podcast.
⑧ Instead of repeating links, search for them (without https://) and boost earlier posts.
⑨ ★ are just public bookmarks. (Yes, everypody can see who starred a post.) Boost or give reply instead. Boost ur own toots if they got/deserve a lot of ★.
㉈ Refer to toots via url, public reply or switch to a Misskey fork

Good morning to everyone except The Former Guy and Space Karen!
I guess it's about time I posted an #introduction.

In my spare time I like to make iOS apps with Swift.
I enjoy walks around the yard with my toy poodle. A sampling of my favorite things can be found on my #hashtags page.

Ich liebe die Mastodon-Filterfunktion. Man kann jemanden folgen, und nur das interessante angezeigt zu bekommen, vorausgesetzt die Person benutzt regelmäßig Hashtags für unterschiedliche Post-Themen. So mache ich es jetzt auch, meine Food Posts haben immer „SylkewebFood” drin und meine Radfahrersachen kriegen jetzt immer „RadelnInH”. Wenn ihr eins davon rausfiltert, seht ihr nur das andere.

@SuperSluether@techhub.social
Hi! I'm an IRL #Introvert that's passionate about all things #Tech. I run #Linux at home and love playing with new tech. I also like fixing and repurposing old devices to reduce #Ewaste.
I graduated in 2022 with associate degrees in Network Systems Administration and Information System Security. I'm currently working for a distributor as part of a small team providing managed IT services. Still learning the full capabilities of #M365, but I do consider myself a #SysAdmin.
I try not to post too much about #Politics, but I won't hide the fact that I am left leaning. I believe in #ClimateChange, #LGBTQ+ rights, #COVID precautions, and I am #ProChoice.
I love listening to #Audiobooks or a good #Podcast while #Cycling in the warmer months. If I lived closer to the city, I'd love to #Bike more than I drive.
After ~2 months here, I love how genuine it feels but I often forget to use #Hashtags in my posts. This intro post feels like it might have too many, oh well.

Mijn tips voor nieuwkomers op Mastodon:
1. Er is geen algoritme, dus mensen volgen is enorm belangrijk om hun berichten te zien.
2. Mensen blijven op Twitter omdat ze daar veel volgers hebben. Ontvolg mensen dus op Twitter als je ze ergens anders volgt.
3. #Hashtags zijn belangrijk. Maak een introductiepost met hashtags wat jou interesseert en je vaak over bericht, zodat mensen ook jou weten te vinden.

I invite you to try another account and pick an instance of reasonable size: https://mastodon.help/instances/en?lang=112&desc=&minu=111&maxu=8000&minau=111&minki=800&black=1&creg=1&appr=0&lcok=0&ord=rand&advc=1&p=1

HASHTAGS: why they are important
As my fedi-feed gets busier, I think back to a week or two ago and all the posts about how important boosting is, and how pointless liking/favouriting is.
I'd just like to say: in my experience now? Bollocks.
My feed is busy enough now that I can't really keep up: boosted posts are a big part of that, to the point I've removed people that are boosting a ton of stuff that's not of interest and only a little that is.
But what IS critical is:
Hashtags.
Being able to follow them is an absolute game-changer.
eg. if you've checked out my profile because I liked your #caturday post, this is why: I can see posts that have been hashtagged, I don't need to follow individual accounts as much, but to give people an acknowledgement that I've read & enjoyed their post, I favourite rather than boost when posts are hashtagged.
Boosting I now save for topics that are universal or that imho NEED more reach. So I'm reversing the recommended practise of massive boosting / few likes.
Obviously this only works when people hashtag! The other benefit of hashtagging is that people can also filter so they don't see anything with that hashtag. It's win-win all round!
One last point: it's much better for usability to hashtag at the end of the post rather than through the post.
Feel free to boost this though, if you think it's info people NEED! 😅

Hi all new ppl!
Make sure to use #hashtags if you want your posts to reach ppl and find new followers, hashtag like you just are in love with the #️⃣ button, bc there is no word search here, only hashed words show up in search.
You can edit your existing post and add hashes after the fact!
Otherwise, we love alt-text on images, #CamelText in hashes (each new word starts with big letter), follow liberally, boost often, we are our own feed aggregate here

I play #videogames, love #music and #movies. I’m #sarcastic af, but friendly. I believe that too many #hashtags makes an #introduction difficult to read.

With thanks to @cosullivan for the suggestion, here's my #introduction.
Living out my 2d (maybe 3d or 4th?) act in a wonderful little community, #phoenixville, PA, USA. Learning #music late in life.
Trying some #hashtags:
#music #openmic #openmicnight #piano #ukulele #bass #bassguitar #comicstrips #adventurestrips #localhistory #history #journaling #movies #oldmovies #mentalhealth #lgbtq #lgbtqrights #cycling #bikeracing #vinyl #recordcollecting
@FiXato@toot.cat
