Ask your admin to subscribe to those tags through relay.fedi.buzz to get posts from all over. IMO it's essential if one is into tags.
Thank you for mentioning this. As an admin, I will do that immediately! :)
Yeah I recently migrated server and we tried the relay thing on my old one, which did help a bit with tags for active events like #NFL or whatever. It doesn't find anywhere close to everyone and tbh was janky and delayed at the best of times (not great for keeping up with live events, which is my main use-case) but it was definitely a huge improvement.
Haven't bothered asking my new admin because it seems a bit rude when I'm new to the server. But now we can make lists of people that are excluded from our home feed, so I can federate all the things without it cluttering everything up anyway. Hurrah!
I can see why it'd be unsuitable for live events, a fix could be to subscribe to everyone using that tag or if it just the tag one is after - Have a dummy account subscribe and pull posts.
Yep I seek them out, follow them all and stick them in a muted list. Bit of work, but it stops me feeling left out on a Sunday and I still get to keep the benefits of being on a tiny server 😀
Do posts with hashtags still show up if the posting account is muted?
Bad wording on my part there, sorry, not really sure if there's an official term. But I don't mute the individual accounts, just check the "Hide these posts from home" option in the list.
So all their posts are in my search, but not in my actual day-to-day feed, if that makes sense?
Makes sense.
