I have just deployed a script and a mastodon bot which attempt to hashtag lemmy posts so that they are better discoverable in microblogging services.

Please check the README for the why and the how.

If you have a microblogging account, please consider following the bot account which will help its hashtags federate to your instance’s public timeline.

Many thanks to @jgrim@discuss.online for hosting the bot.

PS: If you have a mastodon account, you can reply to your posts on mastodon (just search for their url) and add hashtags to your replies. This will achieve a quick and dirty version of what this bot is doing

    Cool stuff. I’m not one for microblogging but this could be very beneficial for growing niche communities here by taking advantage of Mastodon’s larger userbase. Thank you for continuing to build tools for the fediverse, @db0 🫡
