Why is it not surprising to me that half of the search results for #Miami are shilling sex? Just a friendly reminder, if you care about human dignity, to make sure the date you buy isn’t actually a minor or an individual being controlled by a trafficker. #Miamitech #Artbasel #humantrafficking
@zewm could be .. still new here. Can I even see a general federated timeline on my phone or only when I click a hashtag?
When you use a hashtag on Mastodon, it only shows up in the timelines of people who are following you and are on the same instance as you.
That means that if you want your hashtag to be seen by people on other instances, you need to use a “cross-post” or “boost” function.

@zewm how are you on mastodon.Miami? I didn’t see that option when I signed up.
@sandyIRL It's an instance that was just created last week. It has about 6 users atm. It wouldn't be on any major listings (yet?)
@sandyIRL Maybe it's just on that specific instance?
