Only partial federation of hashtagged posts to Kbin microblog?
Only partial federation of hashtagged posts to Kbin microblog?
I've been looking for a usecase to see where the combination of Threads and Microblog was particularly useful, and with the news around the potential superconductor #LK99 I figured this would be an interesting test case. So I made a magazine on kbin.social for LK99, and added the hashtags to tags in settings.
But now only some tagged posts show up under microblog. So it does work, because otherwise 0 posts would appear. But if I search on mastodon.social for #LK99, I get way more posts, and only about a third of them show up on Kbin.
Its probably something to do with federation, but I'm not really sure where it goes wrong. Interestingly, even some posts that are made on mastodon.social that are correctly tagged do not show up on kbin, even though other posts from mastodon.social do. I even made sure to follow this account with my mastodon.social account to guarantee federation between the servers.
Anyone has an idea how this works? And if there is a way to force more of the posts to show up?
Having the same issue here - looks like only one tag gets included, and it only partially includes incoming Microblog hashtags. You'll note that if you have multiple tags and click them in your magazine description panel, you get a much wider selection than what's included in the Microblog. Pretty sure it's a bug.
Did you follow the accounts which were using that hashtag from kbin.social? That will ensure they are pulled through to the server.
No, the value is in pulling in posts with a hashtag that arent being followed yet. But it feels like that isnt really possible yet, and that someone from kbin.social has to follow the account?
Yes, I think that's how it works on Mastodon too. The server has to be following an account to get the posts containing the hashtags. No different to following an external magazine/community - you won't see the posts in "all" until somebody follows it.
