Your Home Feed is the inbox of an ActivityPub actor — in particular YOUR ActivityPub actor.

There could be an actor for each hash-tag, too.

You could even do Del.icio.us like things — and have actors for intersections of hash-tags, too.

These hash-tag actors' inboxes would need to be readable by anyone.

...

This could be a more ActivityPub like API alternative to Mastodon's "GET /API/v1/tags/{name}" API.

I hate long toots. Here are no threads.

#hashtag #Fediverse #FediArt #ClassicalMusic

RE: https://mastodon.social/@meganmariehart/116044953904582813

Interesting experiment! It's worth reading @meganmariehart's thread.

P. S. It had 327 boosts, 4 quotes and 147 likes in 3 hours. I hope I didn't spoil it by adding hashtags.

Assuming that the conference "Perspectives on Scientific Error" 2026 (also known as PSE8)
https://perspectivesonscientificerror2026.wordpress.com/
has the #hashtag #PSE8, I am happy to report that it now also has a presence in the #nanopublications ecosystem at https://w3id.org/spaces/PSE8
In preperation for the nanopublications hackathon om 2026-02-13, we are going to use that space to experiment with the use of nanopublications for conference microblogging.

Whenever I see one of those huge cargo trains go by, it reminds me of the ginormeous economic machine called the European Union. And that I am a privileged citizen that is part of this amazing project of peace and prosperity.

Also: (Cargo) trains are freaking awesome. #cargo #train #is #freaking #awesome #hashtag

@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote I also would never use a #Hashtag

I really love to see a 'how you should use mastodon' reply. Haven't seen one in ages. I have never and will never use a #HashTag

The internet used to be a collection of homes.
Now it's a row of malls.
We traded the hobbyist era for corporate walled gardens. ICQ is dead, Skype is dead, and the open web is being strip-mined for data.

But remember: the #hashtag was born in 1980s IRC rooms, not a Silicon Valley PR firm.

The Fediverse isn't just a trend - it's a return to what made the web work in the first place.

Protocols over platforms. Always.

OK I've now spent a day camping the #TheForkiverse / #Forkiverse

/public/local

("These are the most recent public posts from people whose accounts are hosted by theforkiverse.com.")

feed and all I can say is, in no particular order:

Zero to very low #Hashtag use

Empty #ProfilePages

Pretty much content-free posts in general, I mean:

"trying out this new corner of the internet. u up?" with zero hashtags by an empty Profile

An "old" account is barely a week old

Very little (if any) threading; posts are all one-offs

Allegedly: Server stats: 5.6K active users @ 01/15/26

Analysis: a New York Podcast Influencer's flash-in-the-pan featured in (apparently) one podcast

Forecast: since it's nothing more than Just Another Mastodon Instance(tm) on v4.5.4, a slow decline into irrelevance, because right now there's simply nothing to set the Forkiverse aside from all the other Mastodon instances that offer anything besides a famous Podcast Influencer...

YMMV...

@mattblaze You’ve always had the power to go back to normal times. Just close your eyes, #hashtag #three #words in every toot, and think to yourself, “There’s no place like putting a content warning on each and every thing I write.”
