Clicking on a instance shows the hashtags that were recently used there.

I am investigating why there are instances missing. Could be a problem with data collection or export.

@Luca

Once this gets a few more instances from my corner of the #fediverse, it will be very cool!

(Sadly, it currently seems to be missing most of the #tech/#foss/#linux section of the 'verse)

@codesections I am collecting new data as we write. I found a bad bug as well, which probably caused me to only get 40 Toots per instance. And I switched to using the instances I collected myself.
