are hashtags actually a big deal on here? I have literally never used or followed one and it's not like i'm running out of stuff to read.

if anything, posts with 15 tags shoehorned in are likelier to get skipped or even get the user muted, because ugh

@palecur They’re more important here than at the because there’s no full-text search across instances (and for many instances, even locally,) the population is a bit sparse, and propagation is imperfect. Hashtags improve people’s ability to find toots *and people* that they enjoy reading but might otherwise never find.
