Pro tip for casual #Mastodon users: Follow #Russia / #Putin / #wagner and other to stay updated.

Unfollow them later if you want.

@rokr Also - for people who really don't want their feeds filled with the news - word mute the above tags and you should avoid most of it 😊
@rokr To be clear - I appreciated the tip, I hadn't thought of temporarily following a hashtag, it was really useful. I should have added that in my earlier message! Thanks.

@rokr um...

Man Mastodon app user on android. I can't figure out how to follow a hashtag. Anyone got any advice?

@rokr you can follow hashtags, how?!
@adamwarvergeben @rokr @amoshiashwili Depends on the way you access. Not sure about official Mastodon mobile app, maybe possible. Desktop: open the hashtag - click one, or search it and click the tag in results. Top right is a follow button. Other apps may have a similar button when viewing the hashtag.
@picard @rokr @amoshiashwili will try it later, couldn't seem to find something in the official App yet
