Filtering posts

Are there #hashtags on lemmy? Can I follow them? Can I group them?

#Lemmy apparently has no concept of hashtags, but when you write a post it’s still a good idea to write hashtags because kbin & mastodon users can search by hashtag and find your post.

From the native web interface, currently no to all your questions.

I understand this is not your intent, but the question might help clarify your intent:

Why don’t you visit a specific community which is dedicated to your keyword of interest? How would that be different from what you want?

I suppose they’re thinking something akin to hashtags vs accounts. Like a technology post may also be about politics for example

that would be useful.

and also, if communities have hashtags in their description, one could aggregate them by hashtag. thus solving the problem of duplicates communities across multiple instances.

Well… I thought of listing all posts related to technology (for example) grouping Linux, free software, open source… there are many communities dedicated to each of those. It would be useful to group them together for quick access.

Ah, thank you.

No, grouping by tag is currently not supported.

The feature request pops up frequently, and there are corresponding open issues on GitHub.

I would also like to have this. I’m not sure how soon if ever it gets implemented.

Dont think there’s accurate tagging of posts going on, so no reliable way for the filtering to be accurate.
