Hmmm, is there any way to share a hashtag with people that aren't necessarily on the Fediverse? On my Friendica I used categories so I could share just some of my posts with people, but obviously that's not an option on most Fedi services, so maybe a way to link people to a hashtag, at least the public toots and woots?

@FediTips any ideas?

I think that in your question is hidden the answer you're looking for...

@chuff

I don't know if this applies to wafrn but you can generally share the web address of the hashtag search results page?

For example https://ohai.social/tags/bloomscrolling will share the public posts with the tag #bloomscrolling on the server ohai.social

You don't need to be a member or logged in to view this public results page.

Curses foiled again… I wonder if'n @dansup has any projects that might offer a solution?

I don't understand this. Isn't every instance essentially indexing all foreign posts though? What makes an instance with no-login search/known network timeline different from an indexer?

@gabboman @chuff @eris @FediTips "it's complex"

social media isn't a private journal, you compose content to share with other people, I get that some want to enforce boundaries and we should try to respect them, but the people who argue against indexers should simply not post if they want to enforce their own boundaries across mediums that have been historically open, like forever.

Signal exists for a reason.

We should stop entertaining ppl who think they have a right to enforce this for all.
