@teixi @kendmiller @PessoaBrain @NicoleCRust @kordinglab The pin thing doesn't seem to work for me unfortunately (I get no options to pin the column).

Perhaps the best thing is just to use #neuroscience as the most possible generic way to let people find it, and also add a more specific #NeuroTopic for those looking for something specific?

@kendmiller @tyrell_turing @PessoaBrain @NicoleCRust @kordinglab

#NeuroThread
--> (optional) prefix

#NeuroMeta
#NeuroTopic
--> (Important) subject/s

to search multiple:
search first one
pin a column
click settings to add more

ie web search:
https://course.oeru.org/support/faqs/frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-search-mastodon/

Alternative would be to add a 'neurothread' group, then use:

@neurothread
#NeuroThread
--> (optional both) prefix/es

#NeuroMeta
#NeuroTopic
--> (important) subject/s

ie current groups:

The only problem with #NeuroTopic is you can't search on it (without knowing in advance what topic to search for). Twitter would show you things that got lots of likes from people you follow, so you would be alerted to it. Mastodon doesn't change what you see based on likes. So either people can boost them, and hope you are looking at the part of your timeline the boost appears in; or we need some hashtag you can regularly search for (or maybe there are more efficient ways to monitor a hashtag?).

Could maybe combine them #NeuroThread #NeuroTopic
and then could search for #NeuroThread? I was just afraid that only a single hashtag to search on would be used too often and so it wouldn't end up being a very informative signal. But maybe having more than 1 is too complex and simplicity wins over informativeness?
