@Sarahp id really like to use mastodon more, but finding people into the same stuff as me is much harder than on twitter :/
@ashenone @Sarahp you can follow hashtags, so it is possible to find people that way.
@Ash_Crow @Sarahp i see how to view hashtags, but no follow button
@ashenone @Sarahp it's this one when viewing the page of a hashtag
@Ash_Crow @Sarahp maybe its because of the metatext app i am using that its not visible?
@ashenone Yes, Metatext doesn’t have functionality to follow tags.
Plus, Metatext project is now archived so it won’t get any updates.
The timeline on Metatext looks good tho.
