     @pixelfed If we go this route, we'll likely limit the # of hashtags with a "show all" to load more if applicable.

     This is growing on me though, and this is inspired by @Gargron work on tag buttons in Mastodon!

     @dansup @pixelfed Looks good! Much cleaner and more parseable. I do however think it’s important to keep the capitalisation and the tag order that the person chose? Those can convey meaning.

     @dansup @pixelfed I think it’s helpful to have them shown in this new button style!
     I’d also suggest increasing the line height of the description text. Currently, it’s very tight which doesn’t look great, and makes reading multiline descriptions harder.

     @dansup from my observation (in IG), most folks there purposely "hide" hashtags by putting in a lot of newlines (and force "show more") or add them via a comment instead of post description. Surfacing them this way seems to undo their intentions in my opinion 🤔

     @cheeaun Yeah that's a good point, I think maybe we'll default to the current inline behavior and make this an optional (app level) setting!

     @mspsadmin @pixelfed There will be a "distraction free" setting that hides everything but the media, allowing you to long press for options or tap to load the full post screen!

     @dansup @pixelfed I'm old school and don't like the overall UI push to more whitespace/vertical spacing. This is minor but still, tend to prefer tags that are different color so they stand out. But also realize that's not fully accessible. Buttons certainly make tag navigation more likely. So on fence 😂

     @cheeaun @dansup Yeah, but didn't nt they do that because all the tags are noisy, which this UI would fix? That manual way of hiding tags is more work for those posting, and annoying for those reading, because they can't know if there's a read more link because there's a new paragraph of actual text, or just tons of tags. So people have to press the read more all the time just to check, wasting everyone's time.

     What if the tags are separated out, like this, but also hidden behind "Show tags"?

     @dansup @pixelfed love, love, love it!
     I always was annoyed by the hashtag spam cloud at the bottom of (IG) posts and wonder why hashtags weren't handled separately outside the original caption - like EyeEm did it when they were cool.

     @dansup @pixelfed *Strongly* prefer the separated hashtags where they're parsable (I've mixed thoughts on how to handle inline #hashtags as opposed to ones put at the end).

     It just looks so much cleaner.

     @dansup @pixelfed I much prefer the new version, but as others pointed out, I think maintaining the case is important.

     I would also like for the # signal to be kept to make it more explicit, which I feel is specially more relevant when the hashtag is in the middle of the text for example (which I assume would still be possible, it would be horrible for them to always be at the bottom).

     @dansup @pixelfed what would this do with inline hashtags? Ie if i use a hashtag in a sentence like
     "A nice #photo of #amsterdam canals"
