Friends, if you haven't already, it would be a big favour to me if you could enable tags.pub to boost your public tagged posts.

@liaizon @cogdog I've got an issue open for this.
https://github.com/social-web-foundation/tags.pub/issues/13
Right now, I think the only thing we can do is submit a patch to Mastodon to let you ignore boost notifications from a particular account or domain.

@liaizon@social.wake.st well, I mean, it is a boost, technically..... Mastodon and other software could technically not count announces from actors identifying themselves as service type actors maybe?

@evan @cogdog @julian technicality yes, but for socially no. the number of boosts something has and the reason the number is there is for humans to see how "popular" something is. the way you are using boosts to get a more global view of hashtag usage is not what non tech humans are thinking when they read that number. and if your service gets popular enough to actually work, then a majority of posts would have numbers that are breaking the expectation of people who are reading them

No, it's to show how many boosts there are.

Just search for @_followback in your Mastodon UI. Click the follow button there. (Don't try to follow from the profile page; it doesn't work yet.)
It will follow you back, and when you make a post with a hashtag in it, the server will boost your post from the appropriate hashtag.
@evan This seems to me like subscribing to a relay in an instance. What's the difference?

@evan This is a very interesting project. It really does give more power to regular users of the #Fediverse, not just administrators. And it apparently works well on platforms other than #Mastodon.

@df it looks like it works for you!

@evan@cosocial.ca I don't think so, because when those announces happen they're from Group actors
Maybe the group actor could identify themselves at a bot? I think Mastodon has a separate flag for that........

@evan @_followback @joe Evan: how many people do you think you need to be a big enough sample?
And maybe reach out to each big servers admin to ask them to follow?

@tchambers @joe great idea!
I think it's a really interesting question of how much of the Fediverse needs to be providing data to tags.pub.
I think this might be an interesting network science problem. I'll do some math and let you know!

@evan @_followback Seems like tags.pub automatically shares public tags, even without following. Followed anyway.

@sandwich on some servers, like mastodon.world, it's enabled by default. You can opt out by adding hashtag NoTagsPub to your bio.
