If you want to try out the advanced web interface for Mastodon, I made short video on how to pin a hashtag search.

1. In Preferences, Enable advanced web interface and save.
2. Go Back to your Mastodon start page.
3. Search for #FediTips
4. Click search result
5. In the column that appears, open column settings (top right icon)
6. Select “Pin” and the column will stay in your layout and update automatically
7. You can add more hashtags to the same column, if you want.

@axbom I'm running the advanced interface but I'm not able to add additional hashtags to the column, any idea what the reason for that could be?
@Micke @axbom #commodore64 did not exist, atm on mastodon.se you can see if it does if you go to https://mastodon.se/web/tags/commodore64 but I did notice that #c64 does exist.
#commodore64

These are public posts tagged with #commodore64. You can interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.

@stemid @axbom still don't get this to be honest, if I add different tags like commodore64, c64 or amiga at https://mastodon.se/tags I can see them all, but still can't add them as additional tags for my column.. what am I missing here?

@Micke wow you just activated federation of the #comodore64 tag on this instance. now I get a loong list of posts with it. fancy.

let me check in my advanced gui, I don't normally use it but each time I go back to it I still see my old tags that I pinned.
