Here's something really useful I've found.
One of the great things about the Fediverse is being able to follow hashtags.
But.
If someone puts up a post using that hashtag, and no-one on your instance follows that person or anyone who shares it, it won't appear in your feed.
This is particularly common if you're on a small or single-user instance.
Here's the solution.
First, follow @_followback
It will follow you back.
And then tags.pub bot then reshare all of your posts that use hashtags.
So if you do a post with the hashtag #Fediverse, then @fediverse will share your post.
Here's where the magic happens.
The tags.pub bot will do the same thing to everyone else who follows that followback account.
So if you follow @fediverse, then you'll get a feed of everyone who uses #Fediverse on the Fediverse.
And you'll see their posts even if no-one on your instance follows them.
And it works for all hashtags.
Just put the name of the hashtag, followed by @tags.pub
So @tech follows all posts using #tech, for example.
Or @news follows all posts using #news

#relay #relays #selfhosted #selfhosting #Mastodon #feditip #feditips #fedihelp@aj this sounds phenomenal, ta for sharing [how did you discover it?]. am about to test it on my small friendica.au instance... the main reason i left it a few weeks back & returned to masto, was exactly this -- most of my followed tags had few hits there for the reason you explained. 🤞 🤞 🤞

@aj bugger, fell at the first hurdle, as i feared

@MsDropbear42 I saw a post about it the other day by @evan
So I decided to try a bunch of hashtags with it.
Since I'm on a single-user self-hosted instance, it's brilliant. -

@MsDropbear42 Errant space?Try @_followback (at _followback at tags.pub no spsces).

#relay #relays #selfhosted #selfhosting #Mastodon #feditip #feditips #fedihelp@aj @_followback @fediverse @tech @news Hello
Thanks for the advice
So you have to ask a different request for every hashtag you want to follow ?
I hope it is not too heavy on the server. -

#relay #relays #selfhosted #selfhosting #Mastodon #feditip #feditips #fedihelpIt's a great service.
There's also #TagPush if you want a more focused approach.

@planeguy @aj I think we need to mitigate against centralization there.
One way is to have multiple tag servers. tags.pub exists; so does tagpump.app. Other services like surf.social or channel.org use aggregated channels with multiple tags, actors, and other inputs, but they're in the same vein.
I'd love love love to see someone take the code we've made and deploy another server, 3, 5, or 7. I'd be happy to help with that process.
