Is there a #mastodon client (iOS or mobile web) that has a followed #hashtags feed? I’ve seen many that allow you to see a list of the hashtags you’re following and drill in to any specific one. But I’m looking for a consolidated feed that is made up of matches to any/all followed hashtags.
Momentan weiß ich gar nicht mehr wie ich hier filtern soll um nicht wegen der ganzen schlechte Nachrichten in den Tröts wieder ins Loch zu fallen.
Gleichzeitig ist mir bewusst, dass ich grad einfach nur Glück hab und privilegiert bin.
Das macht wieder ein schlechtes Gewissen/ Gefühl und das hilft auch nicht.
Bei mir ist auch deshalb alles mit #hashtags versehen. #DEpol#USpol und #GeoPol willst du dann z.B. wohl wegfiltern (damit beschäftige ich much wohl jedoch am meisten).
Etwas #SMDetox tut uns allen gut.--Wieviel, bestimmt jeder selbst. Gut, wenn du es vorher merkst.--Keine Nachricht , ausser einer Katastrophenwatnung für deinen Standort ist es wert, das du dafür in eine Depression fällst.
Dir geht's gut? Super! Berichte ruhig darüber, denn viele haben Probleme und wollen Positives.
Please put a like or write comments under this post, it is very important for me to know what activity is here!
❗️ I understand that many people passively read the news, but sometimes I get the feeling that I also write news here for 10 people, and there is no one else here...
I've been lurking for a while now but figured I would make an #introduction. You can call me ferret and I use she/her pronouns. I don't know how active I'll be because I'm pretty shy, but I decided to make an account because I've been trying other social medias since twitter was bought by musk and I decided to try out the fediverse after Cohost had their second big funding issue back in March. Currently my favorite anime are the show Bang Dream: It's MyGO and the movie Liz and the Blue Bird.
Welcome to Mastodon! I've never seen a cubic ferret before. :)
I realize that you might have been lurking for a while so you don't necessarily need all those newcomer tips. But everyone deserves a welcome, anyway, so here is yours!

Do lots of searches for #hashtags.
I haven’t really used any kind of messenger service since probably MSN Messenger and IRC back in the day so I’m a bit behind on a lot of the basics. Part of what’s quite different now than the experience then is what modern messenger protocols seem to be used for, as in they have public channels dedicated to topics that...
I’m using Element. Good to know about the threads thing. They didn’t work how I expected they would, I thought I’d be able to essentially do something similar to forum where I come up with a topic of discussion, name it and have a means of identifying all discussion within this topic as part of the thread, the way it works is kind of like that, but it’s more that something has to have first been said, and then you can reply to it in a thread thus essentially making it a thread. I kind of get it, it’s a bit like how emails work i that regard.
It looks like it would be hard to entice people to reply to things I ask in a thread since they have to think to click reply in thread and which message uttered as part of a topic should be considered the start of a thread is random and up to the reply-er so someone might pick something said much later in the conversation, and click ‘reply in thread’ to that thus splintering everything. Good to know there’s something at least. I kind of thought it might use something more akin to #hashtags so I could make my first statement intended to be part of a thread thus starting a thread and then anyone joining it later could easily slot in to the timeline of discussion by just using the hashtag. I see there’s a list of threads so hopefully people would use that, but it seems like a lot of hoping everyone employs best practice for the feature to really be useful.
These are the guidelines that I follow about boosting or not boosting something. These guidelines make sense to me. I do not care if they make sense to you or not. I also reserve the right to make rare exceptions when I see it fit, but I have to warn you that I don’t need to be consistent with my exceptions, and that a post has to hit a specific note for me to ignore my rules.
Also, I’ll note here that your popularity elsewhere, or even in the fediverse, does not matter. I regularly don’t boost posts by celebrities who do not use hashtags.
Ultimately, you don’t get to decide how I apply my rules.
Understood?
I try to be a considerate booster. If you know me at all, you know that I don’t like people who have nothing to say but boost all the things. Ironically, I eventually catch on to their shenanigans and end up muting them, so I don’t see all the things that they boost, and they want me to see so badly. If I follow you, it is because I’d like to hear about you. Conversely, I’m selective in my boosting, for the reasons given above.

By far, the most common case in which I see a post that I would like to boost, but don’t, is when it has no hashtags. This is not merely my own itch that I’m trying to scratch here. Some people do not want to see certain types of contents. Proper tagging helps them know what your content is about, and helps them filter out this content if they don’t want to see it.
For these people, this filtering is self-care. When you post a post without tags, then they cannot care for themselves.
I also don’t boost posts that are merely “boost this post if you [something banal.]” Things like “please boost if you like cats,” “please boost if you are above 50,” etc. Note that I do not include in this group well written posts that ask to boost for awareness. Boosting for awareness is generally worthwhile, whereas boosting for the platitudes I put above ain’t.
Furthermore, I no longer boost posts that are from objectionable sources. Fox News is the prime example here. If it is newsworthy, there is certainly another source you could have picked. If Fox News is the only source, it is most likely a lie. In fact, I don’t even see these posts anymore because I filter them out.
Finally, I don’t boost posts that are just a link. Oh, maybe the link itself gives an idea of what the page I’m going to find at the other end is all about. Maybe I even follow that link and think what a great article! I won’t boost. I hate naked links in posts. Tell us why you agreed or disagreed with the article you link to.
I probably have more rules, but they are not coming up to mind right this moment, and are likely not as important as the rules above.
The ability to add columns in Mastodon advanced webview where you can follow multiple (!) hashtags is really wonderful. In that way you can describe a subject with the most used hashtags and follow all messages separate from your timeline. #tips#fediverse#mastodon#hashtags
Does Matrix have anything akin to 'posts' as in Lemmy and Reddit?
