@sfleetucker #Twexit newbie here - I don't want to be off-putting to the established CoSo community when I am boosting political posts, many that have no hashtags. But it's not possible to add them to a boost. Is it possible to add maybe a selection of pervasive hashtags for boosting and posting? I'm trying to remember to add them into my own posts (#CoSoCats for example). Thanks for an awesome community - you guys rock!
@catmomdo You can’t add a hashtag to a boost, but you can gently encourage the poster to use them as a way of helping the community. Basically I do that with the puzzle score hashtag.
Replies are less annoying because they don’t land in the firehose and only go to the sender and your friends. But it’s still good to add them there too.
@sfleetucker Oh, thanks! That's good to know the replies aren't in the firehose at least! ...Will try to limit boosts to posts that have hashtags, but there may be more more than not with the twitexodus and all, which I've followed many that I followed over there... After 13 yrs of that place I never really fully adopted hashtags (probably because I'm an old fart anyway 🤣
