I hope you'll forgive me for asking some get-acquainted questions before tooting an introduction.

The signup Welcome message says,
> Explore Some Hashtags for Folks to Follow

Is there a list or view of existing hashtags? Or even an auto-complete?

If I "explore some hashtags", how would folks be able to follow that?Or is that not what it meant?

Those last three toots contain the most popular from posts originating on since it started.

Since there is no built-in feature for this, I extracted them from the DB using:

select concat('#',name) from statuses_tags left join tags on tag_id=tags.id left join statuses on statuses.id=status_id where local='t' group by name order by COUNT(name) desc LIMIT 100

I can do something similar with all posts from all instances that federate with if you want, or you can check this webservice: mastodon-tags-explorer.hcxp.co (which is of course it is limited to the selection of instances it is set up to monitor)

@mayel thanks a lot, no need to do more data mining now.

I'll "favourite" your replies and see if that means I can then find them again...

bhaugen @bhaugen

@mayel Yes, favourites do the trick...and I can click a hashtag and find toots mentioning it.

Mayel @mayel

@bhaugen 😀

I wish it also showed user who have the hashtag in their bio

@mayel is social.coop monitored by the tag explorer?

IMHO, if we can't have full-text , federating hashtag searches as much as possible seems like a goal.

Mayel @mayel

@mattbk I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem so
