E.g. I am intersted in steamboats in active use, and would like to have a way to find other steamheads, many of whom have no idea of fedi insides or even what a hashtag is.

Or another interest in EU CRA related topics. Thus higher changes writer knows how to use fedi.

On fedi or mastodon, are there ways to e.g. create feeds similar to Bsky?

...secondly, users will need to learn and remember to use not just hashtags but also group names. This will not happen. Only those understanding the inner works of fedi, and whom spefically want a certain distribution can use it.

This is a good use case but at the same time a fail for the need to discover like minded ones whom often are not engineers in it or tech. They just post stuff, sometimes with hashtags, sometimes forgetting....

Good initiative but to get larger population to the fedi instead of just us nerds, this implementation has several usability flaws.

Firstly, users would need to understand how the system technically works to be able to find posts and get visibility. This is a far fetch.

I have subscribed to several interesting hashtags but since I get very little traffick in mas.to I suspect it is the server. Not the hashtag.

Can I somehow follow the hashtags from another server than my own? @FediTips
