In the web browser version of #Mastodon, you can follow #HashTags to see them in your timeline. For example for #HigherEd, if you are on mastodon.social go to https://mastodon.social/tags/HigherEd & click the follow icon on the top right. Then you can boost & follow stuff that interests you.
It's recommended to add hashtags to your own toots & profile, too.
Other hashtags: #education #EduTooter #Teaching #EdTech #EdResearch #Psychology #EdPsy #LearningSciences #TwitterMigration #OER #OpenSource #IndieWeb #PKM

@dougholton note that in case people are confused, this is the web browser version of Mastodon 4, which was pushed to .social first and only released with a relatively stable version in the last 24 hours, so many instances will not have upgraded to it and that option will not yet be available (soon though!).

@mikarv thanks, I started following hashtags earlier in the week, but maybe they were running a beta version of 4, I'm not sure

@dougholton yep, because mastodon.social is the flagship instance run by the developer, it had those features first. same with 'edit', also not rolled out yet.
