   @thomasfuchs wait hang on, isn't it "public posts from this instance + all people (on any instance) that are followed by someone on this instance", not "all people on federated instances"? Unless my mental model is the one that's wrong

     @aburka @thomasfuchs Pretty sure that's right. I like to think of it as "public posts your instance needed to grab anyways" (because someone was following that content on your instance)

     @thomasfuchs @mikeymikey which is why hashtag following is not quite as powerful as it seems (and completely useless on a small/personal instance) because it doesn't actually pull in any toots that weren't on your server already

     @thomasfuchs @mikeymikey @aburka my mental model of this is an instance only grabs posts it is required to grab, due to follows, and then federated just shows all of that for all users on the instance.

     not sure if it applies hashtags to only those federated posts or if it does extra work in those cases
