@feditips do you happen to know how the hashtag counts that appear in the auto fill section below the text box when typing in a hashtag (letting you see what might be the most effective tag to use) are calculated? Are they based on usage specific to the instance, instance plus federated accounts it’s aware of, or something else entirely?
