Post #3116359

@evan@cosocial.ca I see. On one of my accounts (Mastodon, social.lol, not my instance) it just randomly used to pick some posts and throw them around. Not a really big deal, just wanted to understand. On my own instance I briefly followed that followback account and it seems to work but sort of ... mixes up my hashtags (which are much more Tumblr-style "hash term groups" including whitespaces and all than Twitter-style short tags). Still, all in all, I'm ... quite torn about that feature. Also talking about the fact of, for using (n) hashtags, my post end up being pulled and redistributed (n) times, once per hashtag used. That feels quite like multiplying traffic in quite an ... interesting manner? Generally, I can't help agreeing with what @feb mentioned elsewhere in this thread: This is something that probably should be addressed in a different manner on a protocol level, requiring a bot per hashtag to boost posts and still not fully being near what might be expected behaviour (that, subscribing to a hashtag, I see /all/ the posts with that hashtag not just those that for whichever arcane reason happened to make it to my instance) feels like a first hack or approximation at besst. @AlienJay@burningboard.net
