Loving the new hashtag styling on posts in Mastodon 4.2.

If you put them on an extra separate line, they get nicely styled.

@gamingonlinux My server supports the Elk front-end which I generally prefer, but this looks really nice!

@gamingonlinux I assume that's the compromise, there was a proposal about the spammy look of hashtags on the end that suggested to remove them entirly a while ago, this is a far better way to handle it!

@gamingonlinux Bad (or good?) news: They already changed this, the bubbles will be removed next update and just become grey text instead. It seems some individuals thought they were too visually noisy and worse than before.

See image attached.

A screenshot of a Mastodon post after a recent pull request regarding hashtags.

Hashtags put at the end of a post will now be taken out and put at the bottom as dark grey, smaller text.

@gamingonlinux that looks alright, but what about if you put a hashtag in the middle of a sentence like in this #question , where it replaces a word, does it move it to the bottom? Or is it different? XD

@gamingonlinux That's really cool, hashtags now how tags should look.

@gamingonlinux I tend to put hashtag on an extra line if I don't integrate them into the writing, so this feature is very much appreciated :)

Does not need the box. It is wasting vertical pixels which add up quickly on mobile.
