So you could subscribe communities to hashtags and have it displays toots and pictures from that hashtag in the Lemmy UI

    I feel like it would be more interesting to be able to properly “crosspost” a toot into Lemmy. When I’m on the twittoverse with my Sharkey account, I often encounter content that I want to share in Lemmy community. The only way to it for know is to create a new toot and have in it the link to the toot to share. That’s not great.
    Also, I often forgot to add the mention of the community when I wrote OC from Sharkey I cannot edit my toot to add the mention and see it post to Lemmy. I have to delete it and rewrite it from the start.

    Hashtags remind me of pound like on a telephone. So if someone say hashtag taylor swift I auto think pound taylor swift. And besides twitter or x or whatever has no place on here.

    Out of band classifiers makes sense.

    Also Lemmyverse wide agglomeration of communities should be the default view, the current balkanized Lemmyverse communities cause “big community syndrome” where the community unit becomes centralized again, negating most of Lemmy’s benefits relative to reddit.

    I use iceshrimp. I think lemmy is missing a lot from hashtag.

    As i see :

    Lemmy is not part of the fediverse but a lemmyverse. It lacks connection with other software and other software lacks connection to lemmy. I think we need to build a bridge between microblog and forum.

    In the french fediverse community, our main base of users come from mastodon. And i would like to reach them.

    I saw, in activitypub the ability to share and post whatever is your software. A complete freedom where you just need one account.

    There is differents purpose, but i do think offering people both is good : microblog and forum. And i think the fediverse will slowly move toward that. With a UI for individual and other for community.

    And hashtags do both :

    • It allows post to be discoverable by other apps in the fediverse.
    • It allows people to search and find any post of comment on a related topic.

    So, i think piefed will grow a lot.

    Sorry everyone, I’m not ignoring anyone. Just had this random idea as the football started.
