I have the exact same complaint. From what I see you can browse followed hashtags in the “Discover” tab but even then - it’s showing the feed per hashtag, so you have to click each individual one to see the tagged posts and you can’t browse a feed based on all followed hashtags. This is very impractical, and I basically stopped browsing pixelfed due to this.

Why do they want my first and last name for registration? Seems more like facebook than reddit.

The simple fact is that most people these days use social media (almost) exclusively through apps their phones. Yes, you can install it as a PWA through your browser, but that’s a possibility most non-techy people aren’t even aware of, nor is it really explained anywhere. Not having apps in official app stores is a major hurdle to adoption.

So we are at the stage where people are unable to operate a simple mobile website, and everything has to be turned into its own special app?

I don’t know, for me kbin doesn’t have to get as big as reddit to be a cool place to hang out. Not sure if I’m interested in an influx of people who only post selfies and shitty tiktok videos and don’t bother reading the community rules because they’re on mobile and seeing the sidebar requires tapping on a button but they don’t know how to do that or something.

Maybe I’m just bitter from reading all the comments on reddit and seeing how people don’t even bother understanding what happened with the API etc. and just keep screaming “give content now”.

I think that distinction between “NSFW” and “NSFL” would be very useful to have. I often wished for that feature while browsing reddit.

Thank you, I subscribed! Hopefully it will take off :)

Btw, I got a notification about your reply, and I can see it on your profile, but I do not see it when viewing the thread. Not sure why. Never mind, all is working now.

r/UnresolvedMysteries. I really liked this subreddit. Now I took a look at the thread about API changes which is stickied there and it just seems a lot of people are asking “can someone explain to me what’s going on/who cares about 3rd party apps” (and my favorite one - “it’s all power-hungry mods’ fault”), so it doesn’t seem like the community will migrate from reddit.

I miss reading all the write-ups, not only about true crime but also other mysteries.

I’ll also add: LiminalSpace and ididnthaveeggs (for all the insane recipe reviews lol).

Is it possible to block/follow tags?
