Zwei #Physiker der @tuberlin haben einen Artikel zum Einstieg bei #Mastodon verfasst.
Im neuen #Physik-Journal beschreiben #MarioBirkholz und #HendrikWeimer die Aktivitäten der @DPGPhysik und laden alle Mitglieder der #DPG ein, dort mitzutun.
👉 https://pro-physik.de/zeitschriften/download/23119

Tipp: #Physik, #physics oder #DPGPhysik in die Posts mitaufnehmen, so dass sich alle an Physik Interessierten im #Fediverse wiederfinden.

Das Bild zeigt die Physik-Professoren Mario Birkholz (links) und Hendrik Weimer (rechts), die beide an der TU Berlin lehren und forschen.

@neuSoM @tuberlin @DPGPhysik
Sehr schön!
Was ich im Artikel jetzt nicht gesehen habe: Man kann nicht nur Accounts, sondern auch Hashtags folgen! (Hilfreich, eben weil es keinen Algorithmus gibt.)
Und wie ich kürzlich lernte, ist es Screenreader-freundlicher, wenn man die Hashtags statt in den Fließtext unten drunter setzt.

Hi @linos @django,
we need better #travel #disclosures for those who want to #socialise.
Maybe combining #hashtags and a #fediwall plus (coarse?) time-slots and locations.

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 🙂

Reminder: if you're posting about US politics (as so very many of you are right now, and for good reason!), please tag it with #⁠USPol and maybe #⁠politics. If you're posting about #⁠AlexPretti, or about #⁠Minneapolis, or whatever, please tag it appropriately.

This will help people *find* your posts, as well as filtering them! It's a win-win!

(Also, please CamelCase your tags if they're more than 1 word. It makes them way more readable.)

Hashtags are the best. People have been talking about The Forkiverse for a couple of days as if everyone knows what it is.
Someone used the #Forkiverse hashtag so I clicked on it and ended up in an ocean of toots about it where I finally learned that it's a Fediverse instance made by some podcasters, and the instance gained traction from the podcast.
#hashtags rule. Use them.

#fedi #softwareConcept ( #StealThisIdea ):
Every public post references something #nonfiction like a book or paper as a more permanent topical anchor for #hashtags. IE hashtags get qualified, with context. Could be a #news article or a book or scientific paper or a famous quote. Basically anything published.

You can make your posts more accessible and inclusive by putting hashtags at the end.

When you place hashtags after the main text of a post, screen‑reader users can hear the core message first without interruption. This simple adjustment ensures that blind and visually‑impaired persons receive the essential information clearly and promptly.

Beyond accessibility, this small practice reflects a genuine commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

It's always good to think how the digital content is experienced by everyone, so we can create a more welcoming and inclusive digital space.

As inclusion is an important aspect of communication and communities, let's remember about it. Small thing to do, but improves experience of so many people.

Six month ago today (17 July '25) I soft-launched #TagPush onto the fediverse. It's an idea I had smouldering in my head for a month or two. I saw two problems with #Hashtags on the Fediverse:

  • You can only find/follow hashtags, and posts of those tags, based on what your own server knows. If someone on another server posts with the tag, but your server doesn't get a copy, you will not see it.

  • Small servers suffer more due to lack of traffic.

The fundamental flaw (design) of the fediverse is that servers only see a subset of content.

Along came TagPush. Not rocket science by any means, by my one man attempt to automatically hoover up content from the fediverse, based on a tag. If you follow the TagpPush account for the tag you will then get the content pushed to you.

The tech behind it is simple. A #GoToSocial server manages the Fediverse comms for follows, boosts, etc. I have a python app doing the donkey work around the fediverse looking for content based on tags. It then boosts those out every 5 minutes or so.

Here we are, 185 days in, scooping up content for 48 hashtags and pushing them out to a total of 1,195 followers for tags. Amounting to 298,375 pushed posts (at the time of writing this). That's well in excess of quarter of a million posts. Wow!

Not bad for a simple idea.

More details here: https://verbamea.com/4dd1a1ca55

Happy to add more tags to be pushed - as long as there is regular content.

@gagagoogle Hey! I think you’re going to enjoy some of the changes our team is working on. :)

In the meantime, have you looked at the deck view? It’s under advanced settings, look for “Enable advanced web interface.” It lets you pin multiple lists/hashtags so you can look at them all at once. You can pin your mentions, home, trending/local feed, etc. You can also choose to exclude lists you pin from your home feed, which turns it into an “everything else” feed.

Let me know if this helps, or if there’s anything else I can do!

@haubles Thanks! But the "advanced" is not it. I don't mind having one thing at a time on screen. That's actually what I prefer.

I'm talking about having influence over different Feeds here, like multiple Home feeds, tailored for different interests. Like 1 Feed for Physics, 1 for FOSS and 1 for dogs!
Maybe the feature "Feeds" is a more accurate term. In "Feeds" one could merge selected Lists with selected followed #hashtags and enabling/disabling boosts

Is this what your team is working on?

There are people who grasp this at the level of technical detail but I’m not one. My low tech grasp is that it’s an archipelago: your post can cross a bridge to other instances yours is connected to, and onwards from there. #hashtags do the work of your post getting about and being seen, which essentially pulls it over a bridge.

So from a different instance, I browsed the #forkiverse hashtag and here we are. People following me will see my post and might check to see who I’m replying to. If they can see your post (if there’s a bridge they can cross) they can see what else you’ve written unless it was just to your followers.

@Bristleconepine what I've found is that you also have to follow #hashtags for your interests in order to see more content from across the #fediverse beyond users you already follow
