Are we back to using hashtags again? I've been operating under the working assumption that they're kind of gauche for years now but just in case folks are looking through the #blackmetal #noise #drone or #ambient tags, my tunes sort of fall into that category.

Often Mastodon's features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.

For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you're having a conversation about iguanas with some of your mutual followers. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for "iguana", find your conversation, and drop into it to say, "Iguana luvers suck!"

But if you are wanting to connect with new iguana fanciers on Mastodon, slipping an #iguanas hashtag somewhere into your posts will allow people to search and find them.
