Hashtags do not replace groups.
No one moderates them. They’re easy to hijack and spam. And there’s simply no permanence to them.
Which is why, if you actually want to discuss something, it’s better to tag a group. For example, if you want to be part of an actual PC gaming community on the Fediverse, it’s better to tag @pcgaming@lemmy.ca than .
This needs to be common knowledge because people new to the Fediverse do not know about groups. Hell, I’d say people who have had Mastodon accounts for years still don’t know. And that’s a shame.
Is deeper integration possible? Sure, check out how I use [email protected] with my Akkoma account.
Can you be more specific? I don’t see anything.
Sure, here’s the URL:
https://piefed.social/c/lumoura
Also, you might want to look at getting a better Lemmy client.
Isn’t that just a Piefed photo stream?
I still don’t see any cross-app integration except simple linking.
Nope, not a Piefed photo stream. All those photos (so far) originate either from Akkoma or Pixelfed.
It looks “just” like a Piefed photo stream because I’m sending photos there. 😊
