#FotoVorschlag: Etwas versteckt // Somewhat hidden

Versteckt sind die frei lebenden #Pferde, #Ponys, Esel und Kühe im #NewForest wahrlich nicht, aber man begegnet mitunter etwas scheueren Exemplaren, die lieber auf Abstand bleiben.

The #horses, #ponies, donkeys, and cattle that roam freely across the heathlands, lowlands, and #woodlands of the New #Forest are far from hidden. Still, some are shyer than others and prefer to keep their distance.

#FotoVorschlag: Fortbewegungsmittel // Means of transportation

In #Arles sind wir zufällig in das große Osterspektakel der #Feria d'Arles reingeraten. An diesem Tag wurden einige Bullen bei der Abrivado von Reitern durch die Stadt getrieben. Natürlich nur echt auf Camargue-Pferden.

In Arles, we happened upon the Easter Feria by chance, a vibrant festival centred around bull-related traditions. That day, riders herded bulls through the city streets on horseback in a spectacle known as #abrivado. Naturally, their means of transportation were #CamargueHorses.

A few weeks ago, I finally managed to take an okay-ish photo for @Pernillaack's fabulous new #Toothday hashtag 😁

Meet Honey, one of the #horses that live on a pasture a few steps from my parents' place

A #Fediverse tech idea I've been considering for a while.

Hashtags can sometimes be annoying, right? Their primary application is finding posts related to a certain topic, including following one. Therefore, if I look for "horses", I want to find everything horse-related.

The following hashtags should therefore lead to the same set of posts:
- #horse
- #horses
- #equines
- #equine
- #horsetodon

Right? But that's not a reality. Some people tag with one of them, with multiple, or with none at all.

Similarly, #Döner, #Doener and perhaps even #Doner should lead to the same set of posts, right? And what about British-American-splits like how #Localization is #Localisation, and perhaps even #l10n as well? And #LGBT, #LGBTQ, #LBGTQ+, #LGBT+, #LGBTQIA and so on and so on also really should be one hashtag.

So what to do?

I propose:
We should introduce a second symbol for something like "fuzzy hashtags". Not the '#' symbol, but another; perhaps '&' or '~'.

That way I could tag my post '~horse', and it could appear on all hashtag feeds concerning the different spellings of horses! Or I could search for such a fuzzy hashtag.

The different variants could be crowdsourced, or overridden by instance mods. You could also opt-out of that system - your posts showing up in fuzzy searches, most likely.

This would also fix languages like German, where you have many inflected forms: #Männer #Mann #Mannes #Manns #Männern #Männers and so on should all lead to the same result.

Behold what I have to do to sign off on this post:
