    Do you want to see more posts about interesting topics in your Home timeline? And do you want your own posts to be noticed by others?

    Here's how to do both these things:

    1. Search for a hashtag you're interested in
    2. On the results page, click the + or Follow button in the top right corner
    3. Posts with that tag will start appearing in your Home timeline
    4. Follow lots more tags
    5. Include hashtags in your own posts, tag followers will then see your posts

      No, but I think they are going to introduce hashtag following in Lists so you could have separate timelines for different tags.

      Also, if there's a profilic account spamming a tag you can mute or block it.

      An alternative approach if you're on a desktop computer is to use the Advanced web interface which lets you pin multiple tags in separate columns:

      @feditips is there a feature planned to rate limit hashtags at all? e.g. show me 1 in every 10 posts from a hashtag. Some can take over the timeline

      @feditips I started following several hashtags but the posts I was getting were in German and not English. Is this because of the server I chose or because the users of that hashtag just happen to be German speakers?

      @bluecanary3

      I'm not sure, it depends on whether the German speakers were choosing the correct posting langauge in their preferences.

      If they are on a server where English is the default language, they may have not changed it to German.

      Don't be afraid to mute accounts if they are showing you irrelevant content. If you're nervous doing so, you can use a timed mute instead of a permanent one.

      Are you on the official Mastodon app? That doesn't have a follow button yet.

      If so, I'd strongly recommend switching to the third party apps Tusky or Fedilab.

      @feditips Is search logic different between Mastodon instances? I find that the infosec.exchange search yields more (and usually better) results than the one on mastodon.social. Makes quite a difference in the early stages as I'm looking for people to follow and content to interact with.

      @ridp

      Yeah. There is no central server for searches, your search results depend on which parts of the Fediverse your server sees.

      It sounds like infosec.exchange has connections that are more relevant to your searches than mastodon.social, and it's one reason why it's good to join a server that matches your interests.

      If you want a detailed explanation, here's a list of how a server "sees" the Fediverse:

      p.s. You can bypasss the search logic completely if you use Groups for discussions instead of hashtags.

      All posts on group accounts are actively pushed to every server that has at least one subscriber:

      Is there a way to get rid of the members of the People group under the # option?

      I do not follow them, I interact with 1-2 of them, far less than I do with others.

      I hear there is no algorithm that decides that membership but they all have large follows to following ratios.

      @feditips I've tried fedilab a couple times, and it definitely has more features, but... something about the notification system on it could use improvement, I think. Maybe the 'read' part of notifications was a bit buggy for me? Idk.

      Also, local repost counts would be nice. Its extra effort for the servers, but even if incomplete it is a very useful signal.

      If you want the general public to come to Mastodon, that official app needs to give them everything they want without any effort on their end.

      Having everyone using an official app tends to concentrate power in one place, which makes that one place vulnerable to Musk-type takeovers.

      It's safer for the long term sustainability of this place that we use third party apps. Mastodon used to be 100% third party apps, the official app was only released last year.

      Those are picked either manually by the server admin and/or by how many people are following them.

      I've never found the "People" tab to be useful, to be honest. I would just ignore it.

      This is true, but if Mastodon wants to grow being niche, you need the general public, and they're not techs.

      The standard for a UI is "Don't make me think," because if most people have to stop and think to use it, they won't start again.

      If you switch to Tusky, I think you'll find it very easy to use. It's one of the apps that Mastodon officially recommended before they had an actual official app.

      Having said that, the Mastodon roadmap does include putting hashtag following on the official Android app. It's already on the iPhone app.

      You can follow hashtags on Tusky by searching for a tag, then clicking the + icon at the top of the screen. It's got a little silhouette of a person next to it.

      You can't add people to lists without following them. It is on the roadmap, but it hasn't been done yet.

      :(

      Right? I did the same thing. Had no clue why nothing was changing, ever.

      They're not invested in building a new concept in distributed social media is whatever nerdy people, like us, find interesting.

      They want social media that isn't hostile or toxic or whatever they're running away from.

      You get one chance to make that first impression and if they're staring at a dead timeline because they're on local and some tiny server, they'll leave.

      This is the problem, you're treating these as two unrelated things, when in reality they are the same thing.

      The reason this place is less toxic is because it is on many servers, and because it has various anti-addictive features.

      When I was using the Mastodon app, there was no way to switch.
      Little to nothing was happening.
      I was also on rando server.

      Once I switched servers and got Fedilab, I have control, but I needed to have knowledge about how the back end works.
      A vast majority of people don't know, don't care, and won't enjoy themselves if it looks like no one is saying anything because their in their local, random server.

      The Fediverse structure means vulnerable groups can own their own servers, it costs about $10 a month for a five person server or $100 for a 2000 person server, with all tech stuff done by the hosting company.

      They can set their own rules, and block other servers they consider hostile or abusive. It's giving them the power instead of leaving it up to some billionaire to say stupid things like "cis gender is a slur".

      Actual power here is with ordinary people.

      If there are people spamming or misusing a hashtag, mute or block as much as possible. It is fine to mute or block, it isn't seen as a personal insult on here.

      On most tags there shouldn't be a problems anyway (for example #Mosstodon, #BreadPosting, #Lichensubscribe etc are wonderful), but obviously tags related to controversial things will attract more problematic posts.

      Lists of unfollowed users (or muted users) is a popular request:

      https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/6982

      I think the original concern was about trolls using lists to share target, which happened on Twitter, where people were being added to lists without their knowledge. This was why the following requirement was brought in, to give people control over who can list them.

      The solution suggested is to still require following, but you would be able to mute them on your Home timeline.

      @feditips After coming back here I've seen I can add a single hashtag as a column and then add additional hashtags to that column as a way to create a pseudolist of hashtags. It's not saved as a list, but it appears to act as such. This doesn't seem to translate to 3rd party apps (I tested with #Tusky).

      I think you're using Mastodon's advanced mode with its pinned tags.

      That's a totally separate system from hashtag following.

      If you've been away a long while, it may be that you are seeing the advanced mode by default. Multicolumn was replaced with a simpler single column interface as default, with multicolumn made an optional mode.

      You can switch modes by going to Preferences > Enable advanced web interface, tick/untick to activate/deactivate, click Save Changes

      If you follow hashtags in single column, they are all grouped into your Home timeline.

      Pinned tags and followed tags work totally separately, as pinned were there a long time before following was introduced.

      @feditips Yes, I'm using the advanced mode with multiple columns. I very much prefer the multi instead of single (on desktop). It's also the only way I've found so far that groups multiple hashtags together in a single column instead of switching between one for each. Switching would be a pain for hashtags such as #3dprint, #3dprinting, and #3dprinted which all give different results for the exact same topic.

      After I've followed 100+ accounts and multiple dozen hashtags, I'll have to filter things out with lists because the Home TL will become too populated to try and find what I want.

      Those aren't the only things, just my brain isn't functioning right now 😁

      There are additional safety features too such as hashtag searching instead of full text searching, it means people opt into discussions by including hashtags and it's harder for "reply guys" to strike on random people.

      Also Lists require you to follow people on them, so that you can stop people adding you to lists by blocking them.

      On a grassroots level, where each server is small, the people who run it are more invested and have more direct control over it. That in itself provides better quality.

      Twitter can't do the same because it's a vast corporation whose job is to make money for its shareholders. It doesn't care about anything else.

      If you want a real world example, who is more committed: a small family that own a restaurant, or some random people at a random branch of McDonalds?

      Also the numbers just don't add up for large servers. The average server on here has about 500-1000 people. Let's say 1000.

      Even if they had just one moderator, that's a ratio of 1:1000 staff per user.

      Twitter has about 300 million users, so to get a ratio of 1:1000 they would need to employ 300,000 moderators. Depening on who you ask, the actual number of total staff at Twitter is 2000 to 7000, and only a small fraction will be moderators. That's why they use algo.

      Yes, you can follow hashtags elsewhere and they will show up in your Home feed on all your other apps, even the ones that don't support following.

      That doesn't even begin to describe how it works.

      That has zero to do with what I'm saying.

      It looks like the Cult of the Open Source (No corporations allowed!!!) has made its choice and missed their one shot.

      If/When Meta decides to federate, hide in obscurity or allow yourselves to join a larger world without giving up your data.

      Your choice.

      It's a pity so many are too scared to see that.

      @TheActualBrian @feditips I saw someone on here compare Mastodon to email (I'm sorry I don't remember who!). Instances are just like the email provider you use (Gmail, Yahoo, etc). They're different and have their own rules but they all communicate together. I thought that made a lot of sense and helped to simplify the concept for me.

      @feditips@mstdn.social The pot calling the kettle black since the app change was made. Yes the federation is important, but time after time the community has mentioned that "normies" need a lower barrier to entry, and Threads will be that gateway, for my friends, family, colleagues, classmates, etc.

      It's not a gateway, it's just another centralised social network owned by Meta/Facebook. You will not be able to move off Threads to another server.

      Definitions for "gateway":an opening that can be closed by a gate.a means of access or entry to a placeBy that definition, Threads will be a gateway into ActivityPub. Remember that just because ActivityPub is open, does not mean each server and client software has to implement every single feature or be compatible with each other.

      This place isn't ActivityPub, this is the Fediverse.

      The idea of this place isn't to promote a specific protocol, it's to have a decentralised social network.

      All that Threads will do is drive people onto Meta and keep them there, and centralise as much as possible. It's the opposite of what this place is supposed to be about.

      @mrhamel

      Yes you technically can, and then others can block you for trying to centralise a decentralised network that thousands of people have built without compensation.

      Swooping in and taking advantage of other people's effort is not very nice.

      @feditips@mstdn.social Every instance is allowed to do that dude. I can make a mobile app that exclusively interfaces with my CalcKey instance, and expose the features I deem appropriate. There's no governing body saying how the Fediverse has to function, and if the Fediverse thrives like centralized email providers and SMTP. If that's the way the ecosystem goes, then so be it, that's the freedom of this ecosystem.
