Friends, if you haven't already, it would be a big favour to me if you could enable tags.pub to boost your public tagged posts.

Just search for @_followback in your Mastodon UI. Click the follow button there. (Don't try to follow from the profile page; it doesn't work yet.)

It will follow you back, and when you make a post with a hashtag in it, the server will boost your post from the appropriate hashtag.

@evan @_followback

Hey Evan.

Done! I posted a photo after following, and used two hashtags. Less than a minute later, I got notifications that it had been boosted, once per hashtag. Each boost was from an account corresponding to one hashtag I'd used.

That seems like the expected behaviour, but I figured I'd let you know what it did in case something seems amiss.

Cheers!

@evan is it normal than even from a mastodon account there is no followback ?

@rmdes no, it should follow you back. This account?
