Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee
However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse
Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂
I don't think anyone suggested #bikenite yet but that one should be on the list (bicycle themed Q&A on Fridays)

Also for the event based hashtags (monster on, BikeNite, etc) they are very good for filters since they will often end up overwhelming your timeline if you follow the wrong (right?) people

@FediTips Nice. I have wanted this list for ages!
A couple ND inclusive suggestions:
-ActuallyAutistic – The *author* of the post with this hashtag is autistic (self-id is fine, it's not about gatekeeping autism). Not meant to be used by parents or caregivers to describe autistic people, even if they really really feel they should be able to. Protip: use like a signature, not an adjective describing someone, to make it easier to guess if you're using it to identify yourself or misusing it. OK, it's a really badly named hashtag but it's what we're stuck with.
-Autistic – The correct way to describe an autistic person if you want to use a hashtag as an adjective.
-AskingAutistics – How to ask an autistic person a question about autism. Not to be used to get info on a random topic like autism is a public help desk. -

#FairTradeMusicFriday spikes every Bandcamp Friday. It is to promote music on Bandcamp alternatives such as #Faircamp and Mirlo (and others) that treat artists better than Bandcamp. -

Also the daily games - Rogule, Tradle, Worldle, Wordle, CluesBySam, etc

@FediTips Please tell me you're using CamelCase format for tags? It's so screen readers pronounce individual words rather than smashing all the text as if it was one word and mangling the pronunciation.
It's also easier for sighted ppl to read. A longish phrase that isn't in CamelCase is sometimes too overwhelming or time consuming to figure out and I skip over the post.
Such a helpful list, thanks for doing this.

Yes, of course!
I also urge people to use CamelCase in the website's guides related to hashtags.

#PhDLife and #PhDone for (very recently ex-)PhD students@FediTips Also: @jeromechoo, @aral and I are on a mission to make #MastoMiGoreng or
#FediGoreng a thing for anything Indomie-related, but those might be a bit too niche for your purpose. Although... almost any time we post Indomie pics, we find other enthusiasts, so... -
@FediTips Me gusta mas llamarle "etiquetas" que hastags, debe ser por que hablo castellano nativo

@FediTips Thanks for the list ! Could you maybe add #FediHire as well ? It seems to be used quite a bit on its own without its #GetFediHired cousin.

@FediTips they don't have to be short and snappy e.g. #MisreplacedAccessChamberCovers

@oblomov @cstross @jwz @lisamelton And then we know how much Google pays Apple yearly since, well... neither 2004, the WHATWG start, nor 2008, the Chrome start, but... did you guess when?
2005.

It's all coincidence until it isn't.
Google's enclosure of the web has over two decades of history, back when their motto was still "Don't be Evil".

@oblomov @cstross @jwz @lisamelton At any rate, Dave Hyatt was a former Mozilla dev who switched to Apple and started Safari, and so this entire thing.
He was also representing Apple at WHATWG from what I understand.
-
@oblomov @cstross @jwz by the way, @lisamelton might have some views.
-
@jens @cstross @jwz yeah, this is also something I tried pointing out on the subsequent rapid expansion of Chrome. Everybody was saying «relax, (the core) is free software». Which matters very little when the only thing that truly matters is who controls the platform. FLOSS is not immune to the dangers of monocultures (or of corporate control for that matter).
-
@oblomov @cstross @jwz As you will note by some research, in April 2005, so before the publication of WebKit, there was already discontent in the KHTML community in how Apple was developing WebKit as a fork.
How can that be? They complied with the letter, but not the spirit of the GPL. https://web.archive.org/web/20050428230122/http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/1001
