I tried going into profile settings via web on my phone, it shows me a whole new set of options. I have a few questions wrt options and usage.

1. What is profile metadata supposed to be? It says Label and Content, where does this show up?

2. List account on directory (that I checked on recommendation) - where can this be seen? How do I access said directory if I'm looking for interesting accounts to follow?

3. I read somewhere that specific hashtags can be followed by clicking on the follow button that appears next to the hashtag upon searching. I tried this on both web and Android app and somehow cannot see any option to follow a hashtag (eg ), is there something I'm missing here?

1. This shows up on your profile. This can be a blog link for example. See my profile or others. This can also be used to verify a particular domain belongs to you and you are its owner.

2. Have not checked the second one myself.

3. Yes it is possible to follow hashtags. In Tusky android app, this can be done by going to Account Preferences -> Tab -> Clicking on the + button to add a hashtag tab and add hashtags you want to follow.

1. Thanks for clarifying that.

3. I'm on the official Mastodon app, I guess I'll have to wait.
