Embed Notice

@pfefferle But they don't appear in the fediverse. So the posts cannot be found in searches for those hashtags.

If you search for #tolkien or #middleearth none of my recent content shows up but the posts are live.

Here's an example: This post is tagged "magic" and "the numenoreans" (or "numenoreans") in usual WordPress style. But if you search those hashtags on the fediverse, you won't find that article.

Even if I go back and edit the post and add hashtags to the top of the page, they won't appear in fediverse searches.

In order to be fully federated, I must embed the hashtags at the top of my content (because I publish excerpts) AND I must allow the plugin to convert them to standard blog hashtags. So if I want to announce to people there's a new "tolkien" "middle-earth" blog post, I have to create and add to those WordPress tags even though I don't use them on my [Tolkien and Middle-earth] blog. It's completely redundant.
