Someone pointed out that the best way to search Mastodon is to use hashtags. Is there a list of #HashTags that people have used, so that I can pick the right ones and not uninteresting create duplicates? Is there a suggested syntax? I see some hashtags have an underscore between words like #hash_tags; is that frowned upon?
Is there a way to "follow a hashtag" so that toots with that hashtag show up in my feed?
@quest Yes. You can follow hashtags and have the relevant toots show up in your home or any other list that you have. Go to
https://qoto.org/settings/follow_tags
It was difficult for me to find it, people had to help me.
@Waldemar Thanks, it would have taken me a while to find it! By the way, what is a "list" as mentioned on that page?
@quest I see it as a specialized timeline. You can follow people, hashtags or even keywords and they will show up when you open that list. Like another Home feed but focused on a specific topic.
