· Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 14:45:50 Thanks for the followup 🙏 Are you following a Feddit group account? Do any of the accounts you follow end with "feddit.org"? |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 16:26:57 @FediTips I just checked all accounts I follow. No, not one of them is a feddit.org account. |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 16:30:39 Try unfollowing the hashtag "cannabis" and see if the feddit posts about cannabis stop appearing in the future. (It's possible that the feddit posts have got that particular hashtag within them, but in a form that Mastodon doesn't display. This used to happen with PeerTube videos too.) |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 16:57:03 @FediTips OK, I will try it. I unfollowed Cannabis and all the other hashtags related to this topic. I'll keep an eye on it. But if it's the way you describe it with hashtags not contained but in a form that mastodon doesn't display, it's still a bug, isn't it? |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:03:58 I've just tried searching for this post on mastodon.social which is running the latest experimental version of Mastodon. When the post is viewed there, it does have the "cannabis" hashtag. I've attached a screenshot to show this. I think your server is running an older version of Mastodon. When your server updates to the latest version, perhaps this will cause the hashtags to appear? Medien: 1 |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:15:45 @FediTips Wow, that’s strange. My clients (icecubeapps & Pachli) don’t show me a hashtag. When I look at the users post on my web interface I see the hashtag cannabis. |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:26:42 I'm guessing it is to do with Feddit being a non-Mastodon instance, so it perhaps presents hashtags in a slightly different way. I'm not a dev so I'm not sure how the Mastodon API passes on information about non-Mastodon posts to apps, but perhaps those apps need some bug fixes to display tags in posts from Lemmy instances correctly? Maybe @pachli and @IceCubesApp could comment? |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 18:36:21 @FediTips @geco_de @IceCubesApp This is a Mastodon bug. I've just reported it as https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34319 |

Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 18:44:10 @FediTips @geco_de Without feedback from @MastodonEngineering it's not clear what the proper fix is. This might be a documentation bug, and clients are supposed to display all hashtags even if they are not in the content of the post. Or, it might be a software bug, and Mastodon is supposed to remove additional hashtags provided by other software (e.g., Lemmy) if the hashtag doesn't appear in the content of the post. |
Föderation EN Mo 31.03.2025 11:07:41 @pachli @geco_de @MastodonEngineering These cross-platform bugs tend to be the trickiest to report as it's sometimes unclear which platform has the problem. Thanks for attempting, hope it bears fruit. |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 18:47:43 @pachli @FediTips @IceCubesApp Super, thanks a doe helping with this issue. I’m struggling with this behaviour since ages and was constantly looking for a failure on my side. 🙏🏻 |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:22:44 @FediTips Here are 3 screenshots. The first is how it looks on the web interface. The 2nd is my icecubeapps. The third my Pachli App. Looks always different. 🤯 Medien: 2 |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:01:54 @FediTips How can I find out if I follow any groups. Or how can I see which groups I follow? |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:05:50 They will look like normal accounts in your follow list, but will have a "group" label on their profile when viewed through your server's website. |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:12:30 By the way, if this is being caused by hashtags then it may not be you who is following the group. If just one person on your server is following the group, then you will see group posts which have hashtags that you are following. |
Föderation EN So 30.03.2025 17:26:48 @FediTips That would be alright. But I’m confused as usually in my clients a post that is shown to me because of a hashtag I follow is marked as “shown by hashtag” but all the post from feddit.org aren’t marked as such posts. |
