⭐️ Reminder that if you see a hashtag for an event, or conference, on Mastodon, that hashtag can be followed like any other account and will be delivered to your home timeline until you unfollow it

@stroughtonsmith Is this specific to one app or will it sync to your mastodon account?

@stroughtonsmith I‘m curious how does that work technically? With federation how does your server know about posts containing that hashtag from people that are neither followed by you nor anyone else on your instance? Or does following a hashtag only give you posts from the federated and home timeline? That would make it still a nice feature but also only half as useful for events where you want to find new people to follow by first following the hastag.
