A new user here (never used twitter before either). I subscribed to #wearos hashtag in the webgui. Day later I saw one post in my home screen. I answered it. Now in my home I see that post and my answer.
Q1: My answer does not have #wearos inside, why it is shown here?
Q2: the original post already had one answer from someone else, how one can see it?
Q3: how to see posts with hashtags I follow?
q4: does following a hashtag overrules language settings? I.e. there is a post written on “do-not-show-me” language, but with a hashtag I follow - will I see it.
Side question: according to explore->hashtags it shows me popular tags for today, in the list I see 1.2K posts for catuday, and few tags with 100 and less posts. This looks like that either no one use tags, or no one uses mastodon or I misunderstand description of “explore->hashtags”?
PS: mastodon.social instance
Yes, hashtags override language settings. Or more accurately, language settings don’t apply to your home timeline, which is not a public timeline. Language settings only apply to public timelines, which is kinda a bug, IMO: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20937.
You can see posts from hashtags in two places. One, they show up in your home timeline. Two, on the hashtag’s feed, e.g.
https://[server address]/tags/wearos. You can navigate to a hashtag’s feed from multiple places - you can see your followed hashtags athttps://[server address]/followed_tags, you can click on any hashtag in a post, or you can search a hashtag.Pretty sure that’s been mangled by autocorrect and is supposed to say “You only see the replies that propagate to your instance.”
