So you could subscribe communities to hashtags and have it displays toots and pictures from that hashtag in the Lemmy UI

    What is preventing people from spamming popular hashtags to flood communities?

    The same thing preventing people from spamming community tags presently.

      We have visible community tags at the moment? I thought they were only visible from Mastodon, and invisible from Lemmy?

          Ah yes, but the main difference is that they need to know the exact community name to be able to post, a tag is much more generic

                Indeed, but if [email protected] subscribe to #greentext, it’s easier to tag stuff.

                That said, it’s not a hill I wanna die on. It’s just a random idea I was floating to try and add content to some of the more niche communities.

                  Yes, and then easier to flood too 😄

                  Something else that I just thought about: there would be no way to prevent multiple communities to fetch the same hashtag, so we would end up with even more duplicates than now, with toots replicated on all of the communities fetching that hashtag

                    What’s wrong with duplicates? I love seeing stuff posted to multiple communities. I get to check out new communities and meet new people.
