I still find one thing about Hubzilla very unfortunate. Unfortunately, you can't follow hashtags and I think that's a bit out of date because I don't think it does justice to the dynamics of the Fediverse. I'm thinking about opening a feature request, but I'm afraid that this is a very complex request that would cause problems in development, but I would be interested to know what Hubzilla users think about it.

As far as I've seen, you can even do that on (streams).

By the way, if you want to post to the support forum, that'd be @!Hubzilla Support Forum.

I agree. It's one of the features I miss the most from Diaspora. It's a great way to get interesting stuff into your feed without having to follow everyone that may potentially post something interesting now and again.

@Jupiter Rowland I would like to stay with Hubzilla because I like it very much. But if this is possible with streams then I have hope that this feature might find its way to Hubzilla.

@Harald Eilertsen Yes, you speak from my soul. I miss exactly this possibility to make the stream a little more topic-related.

@Markus What I wanted to say is that if even (streams) can do that, it shouldn't be rocket witchcraft for Hubzilla.

It'd be more fun on Hubzilla anyway where some hubs have more active users than (streams) combined. And it'd be even more fun if both your main instance and your clones could fetch messages with the same hashtags, but on their respective hubs, and add them all to the same cloned stream. You could see what happens on as many instances as you have clones.

@Jupiter Rowland I agree with you on that. If there is already code for Streams then a port to Hubzilla might not be far away. I think it would definitely enhance Hubzilla.

@Jupiter Rowland I do miss the federated stream from Mastodon sometimes. Would be great to see the whole amount of HZ posts alone at least.

@Jupiter Rowland couldn't we use the 'saved searches' feature to save a hashtag search?

@Saiwal this is how Friendica handles the following of hashtags.

@Saiwal We could, but then we'd have to use that search manually all the time.

Following hashtags means that posts with these hashtags automatically appear on your stream.

I think it's relatively trivial to port this from streams... Any takers?

Unfortunately, I don't have an overview of how many developers regularly work on Hubzilla. I also can't estimate whether it is trival to implement this function. But @Mario Vavti , if it is possible for you to implement this function at some point, I'm sure many people would be very grateful. Are they already...

@Markus I'm happy to mentor if somebody wants to have a go. Having an isolated, relatively simple task is a good way to get to know your way around the codebase.

Is there actually any developer documentation? Every site I have found seems to no longer exist or reports an error.

Too bad my PHP experience is so long ago 1999/2000 - unfortunately it's like everything in life, you have to practice it.

@Harald Eilertsen I appreciate your commitment.

@Markus I think there is, but I can't tell because the help system is fscked up currently.

@jupiter_rowland @markus Pepe's translated version is reachable.

@Markus It is, but it's outdated and lacking.

There is API documentation generated directly from comments in the code here: https://hubzilla.frama.io/core/

It's not easily navigated unless you more or less know what you're looking for, though.
