Dear @Mastodon can we have a setting for: "automatically hide/collapse all #hashtags except for 3" please?

I really appreciated the recent influx of new photographers (many coming from Instagram I presume) but the excessive hashtag use is getting out of hand. No hard feelings, it's hard to break old habits - but there is NO #algorithm here that needs gaming. Very few main hashtags will suffice. Choose 3 that fit best. Write hashtags for people instead, i.e. #silentsunday #fediverse #photography

I often see posts with more than 30 hashtags, sometimes taking up more space than the actual picture. That's unnecessary keyword stuffing and it's not helping accessibility and screenreaders either. Please use a meaningful ALT-text description instead 🙏
