2. I'd like to be able to search a hashtag and get back a list of accounts that have used that hashtag within x days or have that tag in their profile. Ordered by "frecency". I'd then like to drill in to see their tagged posts.

Perhaps the biggest difficulty I've found on my alt-account is that even though I've been through the pain of finding and following around 200 people who have used a relevant tag, my timeline is frustratingly irrelevant to the point of being chaotic. (cont)...

So I have to resort to clicking about to manually search for my hashtags. Which yields better results. But then I'm missing the stuff people don't tag (which is a lot).

So yeah, it's very difficult.

I'd also say it's all very time bound. Posting stuff while America sleeps means you're posting into the void, because those posts aren't surfaced by an algo in the morning. A tactic I've often used there is to boost my own posts to give them a second wind.

@charlesroper @kissane The world is a big place, and not a "void". If the US is important to you, certainly, time your posts, but there are other timezones with interesting people in them.

I don't bother with following people at all. If I'm interested in a topic, I follow the hashtags about that topic, and it doesn't matter to me who's posting to it. If I'm interested in everything a particular person has to say on any topic (aka actual friends), then I follow them.

@charlesroper @kissane also an "explore"-like function that let's you see recent popular posts limited to specific hashtags, or any of the hashtags you follow.

@naught101@mastodon.social @charlesroper@indieweb.social @kissane@mas.to #Firefish (f. #Calckey), #Misskey, have that, it's called antenna(s).

You are not restricted to hashtags, because it uses keywords.

For example, I have an antenna on my Firefish account for gaming. My keywords are: games, gaming, steam, gog.com.

I can see posts from people I don't follow as long as the instance have seen it.
