Hello, Hope You are doing good.
I wanted to know about where trending tags are located, they are implemented in mastodon but I can't seem to find them in mobile UI.
@vibhi Hello, good morning!
Ah, good question -- the problem is that the mastodon base version here has a broken trends system, so I got tired of seeing the same weird ones for months on end and suggested they be turned off. F agreed and did it.
@design_RG @vibhi Hi! Is that the reason why this catalan bot @tendencia stopped providing hashtags and now gives links instead? Or is that an unrelated issue?
@design_RG @vibhi Ok, thanks for the clarification. What I meant though, is that Tusky used to open those tags automatically, whereas the link redirects to a browser. It changed the behaviour a week ago, see screenshot.
I see -- I would guess it's possible the person creating the posts has changed their modus operandi.
I can create a post with a Hidden URL just fine at any of my GlitchSocial or Pleroma instances.
Cannot do the same in the vanilla crappy mastodon ones. Which I am tired of and moving away from.
Will reply from my GS account with an example in a sec. Hold on.

I followed your link, and the bot still uses Hashtags -- the links provided are search results for the tag in their own server.
In some cases, this could be useful -- many places don't keep data for long periods, and a search there might return less results (older posts are no longer in their database).
