Mike McCue - Hello Fediverse. I’m posting this tonight from my federated Flipboard profile! We’re now testing our #ActivityPub integration starting with my account. You can follow me here to see all the stories I’m curating about things like startups, photography and of course, the #Fediverse. Curious to hear your thoughts on how this is working. We’ll incorporate your feedback as we make more progress on federating Flipboard. Stay tuned for lots more soon.
Does kbin add # to words randomly? Confused on why those words have them
Oh, I just use #hashtags on my posts to make them easily #searchable. So someone looking to see what people are saying about collections can search “#collections” and find my post.
Who’s going to search for #user or #hashtags though? Seems like it would make much more sense to only # keywords relevant to the topic of the thread?
I try to use hashtags for topics specific to my comment and not already covered by the thread, the comment(s) I’m replying to or the magazine in general since people know they can look under that thread to find more of that topic anyways. Now admittedly, I may not be that consistent with this and might make some tags that fall a bit outside the topic but that’s at least my goal. I wasn’t using Twitter that much before my Reddit migration and I first started using hashtags with Kbin so I’m not sure how exactly they should be used.
