Use more #hashtags when you post to #Mastodon! Not having a central search database means we have to make it a little easier for people to find our toots! :toot:

@crazypedia I wish one could add a hashtag during a Boost.

@sandro so I think it was @noelle that pointed out that you can respond to someone and delete their name so it doesn't mention them, but it stays part of the thread, and someone that views the new status can see the thread, and that's kinda like that?

@crazypedia @noelle Hmmm, yes, it sounds like that's a kind of workaround. But still, if I search for a hashtag, and don't dig into each thread, I'm only going to see blank posts, right?

To test this out, in a second, I'll reply to this post adding a hashtag.

@crazypedia

Yeah, so now if I search for #ThirdPartyTagging I see that tag-only post, which isn't very helpful.

I guess I only have to click on it, to expand the thread. Not too bad, I suppose. Okay
