Each time i look in again on my still-newish #Firefish account, hoping to see some of the disappointing bugs resolved, i'm very quickly saddened again by apparently irrelevant toots appearing in my #followedhashtags #antenna. The picture shows a typical example. I do NOT follow those tags, so why is this toot here in my Antenna?
Then, i wondered if maybe, all this time, i might be fundamentally misunderstanding how to properly use Antennae for following tags. The closest tag i do follow, & whose toots i absolutely do want in this t/l, is #Linux ... by which my intention was that full word, but only that full word, not also that word as part of a longer tag. This pictured toot, https://firefish.social/notes/9hy57g0wn9nfkh0x, does otoh include tag #Linuxulator. Is Firefish's Antenna algorithm looking for all occurrences of my #Linux tag, even if only a fragment of a longer tag? If so, how can i stop it doing that, & make it only search for my literal tags as-is?
Btw, apologies to Vince -- i'm not trying to be mean to your fine toot; tis just a good example of how my Antenna is either incorrectly functioning, or instead my erroneous usage of it. Your toot is lovely, i'm sure! 🤗

LMAO I just got so pissed off at running Linux utilities under Windows Subsystem for Linux and it throwing nonsensical errors, that I just moved over to FreeBSD's #Linuxulator. ALMOST everything "just worked", except had to recompile one binary natively for #FreeBSD ;) .... And now... I'm considering compiling the entire utility suite natively for FreeBSD and making it a new port...
