 Liaizon, hashtags need a working global search. Global anything is hard in a decentralized system. I'm not putting out a half-baked thing that only looks at locally available posts like Mastodon did.  @grishka @wakest were you thinking of going with something similar to @schmittlauch's method? (https://www.zwilnik.com/better-social-media/activitypub-conference-2019/decentralised-hashtag-search-and-subscription-in-federated-social-networks/) @grishka @wakest I guess what I am asking is what *you* had in mind cause I assume it is indeed a feature you will end up implementing yourself regardless of how its done. I agree the way hashtags work now on the fediverse is frustratingly broken and I would love to see a direction taken to trying to mitigate this specific problem.  posting what the interface looks like for nested comments so other software may see!  |
there are still no hashtags ;)
