I've been here on the Fediverse for years, but I realize I'm missing a very important niche of content.

Folks: Where can I find excellent #cats and #CatPics?

Feel free to share your own in the replies. I want to see your cats. Don't forget to add alt text if you do!

@spencer New in Mastodon 4.0 and already in place in some other forks such as Glitch soc and so on is the ability to follow hashtags as if they were people. I went to the search and followed and and haven't regretted it for a moment. You'll get lots on your timeline if you do that. If you don't have that feature yet, you can usually add them to tabs in the advanced view and to a separate tab in some mobile clients.

Hi @PastaThief [indiepocalypse.social] , @spencer and myself (and others!) aren't using the Mastodon software, even though we can communicate with you! Please be sure to check out the remote profile of anyone you intend on providing any advice strictly related to the Mastodon software, as it can give you a clue whether your advice will be relevant to their own use of the #Fediverse.

@hypolite Interesting. I was attempting to allow for that with the mention of other forks just as glitch, but I didn't know there were non-forks that were still federating with Mastodon through ActivityPub. (I'd also never heard of Friendica.) That's nifty! In any case, yeah, I have no idea if you can follow hash tags on Friendica or not. I did attempt to look at the features page, but it kept erroring out. :(
