OK. I'm stumped...

I apparently somehow followed the hashtag sometime in the past few days, because I'm seeing many UNBOOSTED posts from strangers with it. I don't recall doing this.

At first it was no huhu, but now it's getting old. Fast.

I see nowhere on (Web) or where I can un-/follow a . I know it's possible, I just can't find the switches.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

HASHTAGS: why they are important

As my fedi-feed gets busier, I think back to a week or two ago and all the posts about how important boosting is, and how pointless liking/favouriting is.

I'd just like to say: in my experience now? Bollocks.

My feed is busy enough now that I can't really keep up: boosted posts are a big part of that, to the point I've removed people that are boosting a ton of stuff that's not of interest and only a little that is.

But what IS critical is:

Hashtags.

Being able to follow them is an absolute game-changer.

eg. if you've checked out my profile because I liked your post, this is why: I can see posts that have been hashtagged, I don't need to follow individual accounts as much, but to give people an acknowledgement that I've read & enjoyed their post, I favourite rather than boost when posts are hashtagged.

Boosting I now save for topics that are universal or that imho NEED more reach. So I'm reversing the recommended practise of massive boosting / few likes.

Obviously this only works when people hashtag! The other benefit of hashtagging is that people can also filter so they don't see anything with that hashtag. It's win-win all round!

One last point: it's much better for usability to hashtag at the end of the post rather than through the post.

Feel free to boost this though, if you think it's info people NEED! πŸ˜…

@thetitanborn Also have been told if we use at the end of our toot, it's much easier for those using readers so they dont have to wade through a million hashtags being read to them
