What are things that you can do on Mastodon that you can’t do on Twitter? Are any of these functions potentially useful for reporters?
@schwellenbach following hashtags will put them in your main feed. Which makes it easy to always get content about, say, elections or cats
@orko @schwellenbach how do you follow hashtags? Is this a browser version feature?
@schwellenbach @Amandatron89 search the hashtag (yes, on desktop) and then a little button pops up on the right on my instance
@orko @schwellenbach not on our server (yet) so far as I can tell, but thanks!
@Psy_Fer_ looking forward to this!
@Amandatron89 @orko @schwellenbach I've added elastic search just now which might help?
@Psy_Fer_ @Amandatron89 @orko @schwellenbach On my instance (qoto), was able to pin hashtag search results to my screen while using the "advanced web interface". I'm guessing that the new 'follow hashtag' feature will cause the hastag to show up in the main feed instead (allowing you to follow multiple hastags easily)
