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?

@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.
So that’s why it’s shown to me then. Fair enough. But should my clients show it to me as well? Usually I can see that a post is presented by a hashtag.
So the question is: Where the hell is the failure? 🤯

@geco_de

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?

@pachli @geco_de

Thanks, hopefully fixing this bug would fix it for other apps too 🙏

@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.

@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.

@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. 🙏🏻

@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. 🤯
