One hard thing about building #tagspub is that people get mad that it is needed. A lot of Mastodon users think that following a hashtag on Mastodon gets you *all* of the content tagged with that hashtag from the entire Fediverse. When they read https://tags.pub/#why , or I tell them, they get mad that Mastodon doesn't work that way. But it couldn't! Your server doesn't have access to all that data.
tags.pub

But #SWF want it to work better, too! We think access to fresh content relevant to your interests is one of the things that gets people excited about the Fediverse. That's why we built #tagspub to begin with.
@evan Same for #FediBuzz. Sad the SWF never get back to me when I contacted them about it.
@astro You asked for a firehose, right? I'll open a ticket for it.

@astro I just found your message from when we first launched SWF. I'm sorry I didn't reply!
