Use hashtags for greater visibility on Mastodon (piefed.social)

I've followed all the frequent posters on piefed.social using my mastodon.social account so we should be seeing a lot more PieFed content showing up there now. But unless you use hashtags, I'll be the only one seeing it!

That's not really how it works here, but I would be interested in a way to add labels which could, behind the scenes be translated to hashtags. Reddit had them and it would be useful to say "I'm posting in this gaming community but it's about the witcher". That would be the board-style way to do it

Yes PieFed has that.

Yeah so I would argue that those should be transformed into hashtags. That can be done programmatically on the backend.

Yes, could do that as well. Cheers.
