marqle<a href="https://mastodon.social/@MyMelony_art" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MyMelony_art</a> Exploring is the best way to enter any social space. The other way - being dragged in because everyone else is there - is the worst way.Most people enter the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> the first way.Welcome!The usual tag for new arrivals here is <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a>That's usually followed by people advising you how to tailor your <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/profile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#profile</a> and use <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> but I leave the explanations to people in another timezone because it's getting late here 😀

LiannaI wonder how <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> with strongly marked cases.If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilzen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilzen</a>', because '<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilzen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilzen</a>' is a different hashtag from '<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilze</a>'. Let alone <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilzes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilzes</a> and <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilz</a>.Would we tag things with <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/SemanticWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SemanticWeb</a> URIs? <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtag</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/compling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compling</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/computationallinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computationallinguistics</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/l10n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#l10n</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/i18n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i18n</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a>

pasjrwoctx👽<a href="https://caneandable.social/users/WeirdWriter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WeirdWriter</a> ok im a little lost, following categories would be more like following <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a>, ie <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> or <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=breakingnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#breakingnews</a> and having them show up in your feed without searching them, but that relies on usage of hashtags so if a post author creates a breaking news post but fails to use the <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=breakingnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#breakingnews</a> hashtag it wont show up in the feed that you would be following for breaking news, so on your instance in the search bar put what your looking for, under results It shows you All, Profiles, Hashtags and Posts, click on Hashtags then the hashtag your looking for, and on that page on the top will say <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtag</a> on the left and on the right is a Follow Hashtag button and now everything hashtaged with the hashtag you selected will show up in your Home feed.

marqle<a href="https://aus.social/@timrichards" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@timrichards</a> I was saying this in a slightly different context earlier, but I think it's the chronological feed that's the real key.I saw your post because it's currently the latest on showing one of the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> I watch.That's more or less like walking into a room and hearing the last conversation, rather than the one that caused the most reaction long before I got there 🙂

Paul Kater<a href="https://mastodon.social/@ltrapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ltrapp</a> Getting around and known on Mastodon isn't hard. Write something about yourself in a pinned post, used plenty of <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> and follow some.You won't have time to write within days. 😉

CalishatMonitoring Protest Hashtags With VibesMastoCan't go to the protests today but you still want to know what's going on? Check out this tool I made to monitor hashtags at the larger Mastodon instances and aggregate them into a browser tab that refreshes automatically. I set it up because I have a tiny instance and our news flow isn't great. You can use it too! You don't have to have a API key or even a Mastodon account.<a href="https://www.calishat.com/2025/04/19/monitoring-protest-hashtags-with-vibesmasto/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.calishat.com/2025/04/19/monitoring-protest-hashtags-with-vibesmasto/</a><a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RSS</a> <a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> <a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activism</a>

Aljoscha Rittner (beandev)<a href="https://norden.social/@New_Joerg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@New_Joerg</a>Auf Mastodon kann ich <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hashtags</a> folgen, was das Problem etwas mitigiert. Es ist kein mir aufgestülpter Algorithmus, der nach Analyse meines Lese- und Reaktionsverhaltens spezifische Posts in meiner Timeline liefert. Es ist allerdings auch ein Alles oder Nichts. Aber ich kann darüber entscheiden und es für mich konfigurieren. <a href="https://systemli.social/@anneroth" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@anneroth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/@taschenorakel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@taschenorakel</a> <a href="https://fromm.social/@thilo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thilo</a>

Tom Bortels<a href="https://hoosier.social/@thekitmalone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thekitmalone</a> There is no algorithm - your timeline is the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> you follow, the people you follow, and the posts they boost. That means the quality of your feed is largely up to you. Follow interesting people and hashtags, and just as importantly unfollow/block early and often, and don't be shy about boosting in turn posts that are good.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲<a href="https://hoosier.social/@thekitmalone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thekitmalone</a> You can follow hashtags. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> have helped me so much here.

Jeff SikesIf you’ve ever wondered about the usefulness of hashtags, today is a good day to check out <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HandsOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOff</a> across all your social media platforms.

Jeri DanskyThe relieved feeling when the top trending hashtags on your instance are - FensterFreitag - WindowFriday - totp (Top of the Pops) - JukeboxFridayNight - tgif - FursuitFriday - friday - FungiFriday and nothing indicative of some new horror.
