@nisemikol Antenna can follow words, not just hashtags. You have your antenna set up to show any post that includes any of those words anywhere in the post, including hostnames, including in the middle of other words, and even if they don't have a hashtag.

If you want to follow the music hashtag, you need to enter
#music in your antenna, not simply music

@ada @nisemikol

you need to enter #music in your antenna... and then you need to desperately hope that there are no other hashtags on unrelated topics that just happen to begin with#music ...coz sadly #sharkey will cheerfully also grab all those as well, seemingly having no way for users to prevent such unwanted concatenation, grrrrrr.

@MsDropbear42 this article in the Fediverse Wiki seems to suggest that we may get the desired results with quotation marks and a trailing space, so a targeted antenna for #music might be "#music "

@ada do you happen to know if that would do what the wiki article seems to suggest it will do?

@nisemikol no it does not work; see my recent thread

@MsDropbear42 ah, well, bummer 😔

I've come to realize that my issue with antennas is more fundamental than just this problem with keywords. Even if my antennas worked exactly as I expected them to work, I'd still have to click into them before I see anything. I almost never click on any feed other than my home feed.

This is one case when I prefer Mastodon's behavior: follow a hashtag, and posts with that hashtag are surfaced in my home feed where I'm sure to see them.
@nisemikol oh yes i do know what you mean. fwiw, my first foray into this part of Fedi, a few years ago, was unfortunately via a couple of #Firefish instances... sadly they proved terribly unreliable & frustrating, yet also most seductive [when working] for their quite sensuous UI compared to masto, pleroma, friendica et al. back then i nearly recoiled in horror once it dawned on me that my Home timeline actually had none of my hashtags at all, & so i'd need to create one or more #antennae ... which initially i just could not properly understand.

in the present day i have somewhat reconciled myself to this UI metaphor, & indeed thrown myself into it, using Deck View, with 4 Lists stacked below my LHS Home timeline, three Antenna stacked in a centre timeline, with Notifications & a single-user List [for my posts] stacked in the RHS timeline. it's a bit busy, but now i quite like it.

btw, fwiw, despite the apparent failure of my attempts to constrain my hashtag-fetching accuracy in my antennae t'other day per that thread, for reasons i just don't understand, for the past few days my antennae are working really well with no or almost no false-hits -- weird but welcome!
