It may be worth thinking about how/where could this be implemented in the simple interface… as a future improvement.

Of course you can pin and follow hastags in Mastodon.

1. Search for a hashtag (e.g. #web in the search bar).
2. Click on the hashtag (#web here, as an example).
3. You will see a column #web open in the web interface at the far end.
4. You can pin this hashtag column by clicking on the three settings leavers at the top of the hashtag column, then selecting Pin.

To be clear I don’t mean to shit on the platform, I’m just approaching it with a lot of cynicism.

It seemed to me you meant to imply that you, unfortunately, dislike Julian Assange?

associate themselves with Wikileaks and/or Julian Assange

What’s wrong with that?

This is absolute nonsense. Suzie Dawson can be odd, but not right-wing, just anti-imperialist.

I think something like adding movie cataloguing functionality to https://inventaire.io could be easier…? They claim to support ActivityPub too as of now…

Yes, exactly. Personally, I think Plume does it the right way here.

The main branch actually compiles and is active. All it means is that you’re not going to see branched-off releases with neatly written up changelogs very often.

Plume is still active, just slowed down on the release circles.

I think in terms of events, a useful idea would be to have the option to set an event as ongoing (i.e. non-time-expiring) for the purposes of launching like an ongoing charity drive, or a ‘marketplace’ for giving people in your local community used stuff you no longer need yourself (a family member had such a ‘second-hand’ marketplace for our town setup on FB and it went on constantly for a few years).

There are no content warnings on Lemmy yet. But would it be somehow possible to ban content containing certain specific keywords, or tags from federating (and all images would be required to provide a descriptor tag before posting) from showing up, similar perhaps a bit to how the slur-filter works?

Socialhome.network also integrates both.

Hopefully this is implemented like https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/1548 using the Group Actor type of AP, in order to be compatibile, otherwise there’s little point for it.
