That sound you hear is the fediverse expanding!

"ActivityPub 1.0.0 for WordPress has been released allowing WordPress blogs to be followed by others on apps like Mastodon and others in the fediverse and then receive replies back as comments on their own sites."

Is it time for hashtags to evolve?

Well, they're about to on Mastodon due to an upcoming change in v4.2.0, advanced by @Gargron himself.

I have some thoughts.

@Gargron I think the person I'm citing is myself?

Do you have a set of tests I can look at to better understand the behavior you've designed? I was relying on the screenshots in the Github issue.

Also, I was unaware of this: "as tags authored in non-Mastodon software that are not included in the body of the post would become visible for the first time"; are you saying that ActivityPub already supports non-inline tags on posts?

@Gargron Got it. That does nullify one of my critiques. Glad to hear it.

I maintain that the behavior introduced with this change should be optional and opt-in by default, and that additional capabilities for hashtags and adding metadata should be explored, as the rest of my post suggests.

I will update my post within 48 hours to clarify.

The Mastodon app ecosystem is going to make bank once @ThreadsApp ads support for !

(Presuming they allow third party clients...)
