If you use #Tusky (and you should try it if you haven't already—many prefer it over the official app) you can add custom tabs with saved hashtag searches.

This is useful for following certain topics without having them in your home feed.

For example you could set up a tab for #introduction and #introductions to see new joiners and say hi or follow those you find interesting.

To set up, go to "account preferences" --> "tabs"

@joelodge That sounds really good. However, I almost always access Mastodon via the Web and browser; I'd love to have something like that capability there.
