Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘:
On Mastodon, you can not only follow people but you can also follow hashtags!
This is an amazing feature to keep receiving fresh toots (posts) about the topics that interest you.
HOW TO ❓
1. On desktop, type a topic that interests you in the upper left “Search or paste URL” field and press Enter. Type all the words together without space if there is more than one word, for example type “StarTrek” 🖖
2. In the “Search results”, click on the “Hashtags” tab. Click on the hashtag that interests you 🔍
3. On the hashtag results, click on the “Follow hashtag” button the upper right, it is a small icon of a human figure with a plus sign 👤➕
4. Toots using this hashtag will now show up in your “Home” timeline! Repeat with more hashtags as desired 🏠
5. Magic! ✨
