@yatil @thomasfuchs I’m on a single user instance, and because of that following hashtags doesn’t really work, because the only people on the federated timeline here are also people I follow anyway. I’d love a way to follow a topic globally, but that’s not even slightly how ActivityPub works.
@thomasfuchs @yatil Having said that, I wonder if I could hack something together which pulls in content from other instance’s timelines and highlights ones that might be of interest.
@jon https://relay.fedi.buzz does that. Not perfectly but well enough for me. Mastodon is very instance-driven, so it makes some sense that there are friction points like this.
