@FediTips

How can I find out what best practice / group conscience is about hashtags in threads?

When I do a thread, I hashtag each post. Another person says I should hashtag the first post but not the rest.

I'd like to search for whether this topic has come up and what people said.

Do I do a poll? A toot? Search a hashtag? Something else?

TIA

If anyone else knows an answer, I'm happy to hear it. Boosts too.

#Fediverse In #mastodon I have filters on to not show #toots #posts with some words in them e.g. cat (I like cats but ...).
When someone boosts a post and that boost puts the post into my home timeline, then the boosted posts with the filter term, e.g
cat , are not filtered out. Can I change this? Can I get posts boosted by people I follow to be subject to filtering too, so that they do not show on my #hometimeline ? Thanks! #Fosstodon #Tusky

# Introduction

👋 Hi, I’m Jelle Kalf.

I am a DevOps Engineer and Senior Solutions Architect specializing in AWS Cloud Computing services.

I’ve never done my #introduction in the past, as other platforms only allowed 500 characters. Now that I have a self-hosted one, I get 5000. #challengeaccepted!

My interests are vast and wide-ranging, from #tech, #space, #3dprinting, to #outdoors, #skiing, #whisky, #hiking, #solar and #dogsofmastodon.

My #toots will mostly be in Dutch or English, with the occasional bit of Deutsch.
