with Mastodon instance, tech stewards and extension officers could create their own hashtags for tracking, organizing, and searching posts

Different publishing levels on Mastodon. The platform does not provide e2e encryption, even for direct messages.

This is interesting: I followed 3 accounts on 3 other Masto servers. @robertwgehl federated with us. Now the federated list shows 100 instances connected with us. Most of them with a single user. The masotodon.social shows 23 users, when I only followed one on that instance. Clearly, this federation thing is more complicated than I thought.

@robertwgehl so, I followed Eugen on mastodon.social. How did these other users from that domain get on our instance?

it is possible to download an archive of your toots and media in ActivityPub format.

mastodon has a hashtag feature that lets you choose them for your profile while suggesting previously used hashtags. Tag your toots with when you're sharing any discoveries or observations!
