Gregory's Server@MaryPot @flit @human3500 @Mastodon the specific functionality of showing the popularity of a given tag while youβre entering it seems (as far as Iβve seen so far) restricted to using the web interface, and a lot of people are on-boarding via any of the assorted apps. :(

 @MaryPot @flit @human3500 @Mastodon I use Ice Cubes, which does in fact implement it. I presume it pulls it from the individual userβs instance, but for all I know, they use some funky averaging of numbers pulled from a variety of large instances. See img below as the result of me entering # sf.  @cautionwip @flit @human3500 @Mastodon I suspect it pulls it from the instance. I have 2 accounts these days, on 2 instances... 1 pretty big and a new one with less than 20 users. When I want to post about one of my fav #'s, the little one shows a lot fewer posts per week than the old one. @cautionwip @flit @human3500 @Mastodon Did you type in "sf" or #sf? @MaryPot @flit @human3500 @Mastodon I typed it in with the hashtag, but not in my reply, as I didnβt feel it polite to suddenly spam our conversation at everybody searching that hashtag. :) @MaryPot @flit @human3500 @Mastodon Thatβs what I said it as # sf. :) |

I find it a very useful feature. Both the list of variants and the number of tweets (if any). Maybe the app-makers would do well to implement it? π
