   I realized I hardly ever add topical hashtags to posts which probably makes it tougher for folks around the fediverse to see things I write that they might be interested in. I'll try to do better with future posts about #weaving , #calculators , #addingmachines and #Linux #FOSS and #infosec topics.

     @kyle And see? your use of topical hashtags has gained you at least one new follower. :)

     @hehemrin I saw a few comments in my timeline from folks advising new Mastodon users about features, and one included setting up a column that served as a custom timeline search for sets of hashtags reflecting your interests and realized more people likely use hashtags to find posts than I thought, simply because I didn't personal use hashtags this way.

     @kyle A tip I should try to follow myself. I've been uncertain how the hashtags helps to find those words, but if it does, it make sens to use them. It actually is a digital equivalent to the traditional key words lists used in eg theses, papers etc.
