I’ve signed up for it. I didn’t use Instagram much at all and deactivated my account 3-4 years ago now so I don’t expect I’ll use Pixelfed much, but from what I’ve seen so far I would increase my usage of it if followed hashtags appeared in your feed.
Maybe I’m missing something, as I said I’m new as shit to it, but following people has them show up in my feed, following hashtags seems to resort in me having to just fuck myself. If that ever changes I’ll play with it some more.
(edit: also just discovered that comfort_zone already said this, for some reason other replies weren’t visible at the time)
I just discovered that on the web interface, you can see posts under a followed hashtag by going to “Discover” on the menu, then “My Hashtags”, but they don’t seem to sync from pixel.social (or whereever) to an app you’re using.
For iOS, Vernissage doesn’t seem to support hashtags, but in Tusker you can add the hashtag in the app, then see related posts by tapping “Explore” and then selecting the hashtag from your list that’s displayed. Or you can also pin in to the top as a custom timeline by tapping the setting button at the top on the main screen, and adding your hashtag from there.
Which… I guess may make more sense than putting them in the Home feed to prevent tag abuse?
Hmm…so on that Discover>My Hashtags page, just on the website. I’m following a good dozen-or-two hashtags…I only seem to have three appear on that My Hashtags page at a time. And at random. What the fuck lmao.
huh, confirmed. I added 4 hashtags and it only displays 3.
Joy of software in development, I guess. Looks like there’s also a bug, in that sometimes after I follow a hashtag, I have to reload the page with F5 because it doesn’t do anything when I click menu options.

Lol fucks sake.
yeah, I’ve replied to one of the dev’s posts on mastodon asking about the only 3 hashtags part.
