I wrote a super simple bot that boosts anything from a hashtag. The poor man's group feature. https://github.com/Gargron/boost-bot
@Gargron what would you use this for?
@valerauko ambassador accounts. you can't follow an instance or a hashtag. but you could follow an account that boosts them
@Gargron how is that an improvement over pinning a hashtag's column?
@valerauko @Gargron Maybe we could make it so that the bot can boost more than one hashtag: I could not find any way to pin more than one hashtag in the same column. :-/
Vale@ganbara.nai is a user on pawoo.net. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
@valerauko @Gargron If I understand the federation model correctly: it can help new accounts get their posts propagated to other instances.
Pinning a hashtag will miss any posts that belong to users on other instances who haven't been followed by someone on your instance.
