This is literally a test. Can you pass?
You must log in or # to comment.
It looks like your post doesn’t have any tags that I can see by calling from API. The two current replies I see to your post have a tag of type “mention” for you because they are responses to you. After I post this, I’ll see what tags this one includes (as I am on kbin so it may work differently).
On kbin, I have found that posts to a magazine automatically include a tag of type “hashtag” of the name of that magazine, so it’s an interesting difference between the two applications.
Finally, on Mastodon, hashtags do create tags of type “hashtag” in a post, which is sensible and uninteresting.
This post to you has also included a tag of type “mention” but no extra tag of type “hashtag”. So, there you go.
Doesn’t look like it. It would be nice if the did in the body
How would they work? If you click on them in the title, would it open the post or the hashtag?
Ideally it would be a discoverability tool for Lemmy’s side to broadcast to the whole fediverse. So if you post a title like “Hey #nfl fans. !nfl@lemmy.world is hosting an #ama with @tombrady@tb12.7rings at 2pm EST.” The hashtags show up on Mastodon. The !nfl@lemmy.world would take you to the sub. Or if you wanna see just Tom Brady’s answers you can click his name and find his answers. From our side on Lemmy we have the thread structure down. So that’s all you have to do is title that and put whatever you want in the body. From Mastodon’s perspective they could turn their content warning system into titles. So that title would be the content warning. When you click on it, it opens the body of the post, including all comments and replies. That way you have discoverability. You have a way to interact with the post from anywhere. You complete the triad of person, place, and thing so everybody has full context of what’s going on. Lemmy users would get full functionality of Mastodon in Lemmy fashion and vice versa.
