This is why hashtags have been suggested to the lemmy devs multiple times. Just let lemmy users tag their posts.
I know. I am in those discussions and I linked to them on the readme, but I don't feel the lemmy devs agree.
Sorry. Any brusqueness in my post was directed at the lemmy devs, not you. It seems like such an obvious feature. I think some people on the fediverse get into the mindset of recreating corporate silos one-to-one instead of building a cohesive fediverse that has way more functionality than any one network.
totally agree. Our strength is our unity.
I think your proposal is reasonable. However it depends how exactly post tags will get implemented, which is still rather vague. I dont think it makes sense to implement federated hashtags before we have post tags in Lemmy figured out.
In any case your tool looks very useful as a stopgap, and can help to test how hashtag federation can work in practice.
