In a way this is also a test

Nicely enough, when a mastodon post is made to a lemmy community, a hashtag becomes a link to a filter for that hashtag on mastodon. Don’t know who’s doing that, mastodon or lemmy (I’m guessing mastodon in this case)

Question for me here is whether this post will show up in any searches for the “mytesthashtag” hashtag. Does it matter if the hashtag is in the title?

My thinking here starts with how following a #threadiverse community from mastodon doesn’t work well, as all of the structure of the threads is lost and becomes a firehose of a soup of posts.

Perhaps a better way would be for some top-level lemmy posts to be made with hashtags so that only the top-level posts will appear in mastodon feeds allowing mastodon users to opt in to engaging and replying etc.

I've previously tried this, and the hashtag merely being the body was insufficient.
