The latest Mastodon update lets you follow hashtags. When you follow, posts with a tag appear in your timeline automatically.

Try following to make posts about gardening appear in your timeline.

This can be REALLY useful for discovering interesting accounts.

To follow a hashtag:
1. Log in through your server's website
2. Search for hashtag
3. Click it to see its results
4. Click on 👤+ icon in top right (click again to unfollow)

Posts from followed tags are visible in the apps too.

@feditips There's also no way to see the list of tags you're subscribed to. 🥴

@feditips it’s not clear to me how you manage hashtags you’re following. They’re not appearing in my list of follows and I’ve not found them by hunting through my preferences and settings. Only seems to be exposed on desktop. Perhaps my server hasn’t been updated yet? Not a clue.

@feditips would the followed hashtags appear on the home timeline? Or is there a specific place you can view all your followed hashtags?

@feditips is web first typically for updates? In the future will features be deployed on both at the same time?

@feditips @SarahKimball here's a nice way to get started on Mastodon - to begin to see what is out there in terms of colleagues, potential allies, and resources. Suggested hashtags: #immigration, #ImmigrantJustice, #refugees, #healthjustice - let me know what you think!

@feditips Is there a way to see which hashtags I follow? I admit this is not too important.

@feditips Is this for Federated Timelines or Locals only?

Also is there anyway to stop the auto-updates of Federated Timelines? It is impossible to read anything in that view.

@feditips Would be great in future to have more control over following hashtags; e.g., an option to follow hashtags in a list, instead of in the home timeline.

@feditips

Hashtag following is on the #fedilab app and you can see a list of hashtags you are following.

@feditips awesome new feature! But after unfollowing a hashtag the followed hashtags are still in my timeline. Any tips for that? Or is it a #bug?
