YSK: When making posts on Lemmy/Kbin always put at the end some hashtags related to your post topic.

So users from Mastodon and Pixelfed can interact with your post without even need to use their Lemmy/Kbin account or learn about "how to use the ActivityPub".
This also helps to have more content avaliable across the Fediverse due to better discoverability.

Please don’t ever do that.

It bombards everyone with noise and wastes everyone’s screen space. (Much like abusing a username field by adding your life story to it.)

If people currently on a primitive platform want to participate in this one, they should learn to use the tools, or at least respect the local conventions.

I mean, isn't that kind of the point of following hashtags on Mastodon in the first place, to see content relevant to that topic?

@Chozo @youshouldknow @ono Finally someone gets it!!!
Hashtags in Mastodon is what allows discoverability to posts. So if you wanna make your posts indexable you'll need them.
Mastodon doesn't index by words, just only by hashtags.

So if you make a post about cats, but you don't add the hashtag "cats" your post is like it wasn't post at all. No one can see it, besides yourself and your followers. Also I don't get why people all it spam, if it goes at the end. Easy to ignore.
