Does mastodon have any concept of "follow a post"? Sometimes someone asks a good question and I want to get notifications for its responses the same as if I had posted it.
Slack, as an example, has "get notified of new replies" for threads.
This would be a big boost for "usefulness" of mastodon for me.

I love changing my #perspective by slipping into the most impossible roles. It helps me see everyday things with new eyes. When I became this cute little green #alien, this is the result:

Thanks to @pfefferle I've learnt about tags.pub, a service that proposes to fill in the gap of missing fediverse-wide hashtag search; basically, following "@ [hashtag] @ tags . pub" you get posts from the global fediverse, tagged with that keyword.
This has created an issue though: being a WordPress user myself, I follow the "WordPress" hashtag. Well, after TagsPub integration into WordPress activitypub plugin, too many off topic sites came on my timeline. Because there's the questionable habit to place "WordPress as a hashtag, by creators who would like to get better discovered.
Can I say it rude? I've blocked at least a dozen accounts because they where photoblogs and I'm a totally blind user.
Does that mean they're spammers? NO. It means they use the wrong hashtag.
"WordPress" isn't the appropriate tag for indicating "this is my blog, come read it". The appropriate one is FediBlog.
Let me suggest Matthias Pfefferle and even @FediTips to explain it. This fact of "FediBlog" hashtag isn't too much publicized, and people ignore this.
VEM!

I uploaded a five minute unedited video of me coil building a pot, just as a test since I’m new to PeerTube. The goal is to move toward edited videos that show more of the process and better video angles that help students learn the technique.

I got a comment recently from someone who's not able to start comics because they can't afford a tablet and I want to shout from the rooftops that you don't need fancy gear to make a comic!!! Both Dead City and Gender Slices were completely traditional (aside from some grey tones in Dead City).
I love traditional work. I love pens. I love ink.
Go grab some paper, grab a pen, and get started on your comic!!!
