   • Friendica Support
   Maybe a thoroughly stupid question: If in #Friendica I search for a hashtag and say "follow" on that, what exactly does that mean? It does appear in my "saved searches", but does it also mean posts with these tags will automatically appear in my default timelines even for posts coming from accounts I don't follow......?

     @z428 Yes, this is the purpose of following tags.

     @gaysis Tags are public, categories are private to you.

     @z428 I don't think any questions about Fediverse are stupid :-)
     I also don't know this, I haven't even understood the difference between categories and hashtags.

     @gaysis ?️ It felt a bit ... weird asking this, actually, because I'm usually telling people that Friendica supports this but noticed I never really tried or checked how it does work. ?️

     @gaysis Tags are mainly added to your own posts with regular hashmark notation like this: #hashtag
     
     The posts you mention are meant to add tags to other people's posts where you had no access to the body.

     @hypolite I was confused because it seems while writing a post I can only add categories, and have to add tags after the post is already published (which results in automatic comments added for every tag, which costs me time because I think those comments are pointless and delete them)
