Föderation EN Fr 27.09.2024 12:39:19 @Gargron: Hey #Mastodon / #fedeverse : At NO POINT IN TIME YESTERDAY - on my web page "explore" page on mastodon.social - did #Hashtags contain: #HurricaneHelene, #Hurricane, or #Helene None showed up - even though when I typed them, they had FAR MORE USES in the "autocomplete" drop-down than the hashtags that DID SHOW UP! Fix this please! |

Föderation EN Fr 27.09.2024 13:55:58 @peachfront @Gargron Not a problem! This is STILL going on (Helene) and if Eugen wants people to go to the #fediverse for information, they need to do better! |

Föderation EN Fr 27.09.2024 14:03:11 @jgobble @peachfront The Mastodon trending hashtag algorithm is not well suited for multi-day events. It looks at how many times a hashtag has been used today compared to the previous day, so if the hashtag is used consistently over the course of multiple days it will not come up as trending. There isn't a quick fix for this, but I'll raise it internally. |

Föderation EN Fr 27.09.2024 14:06:38 @Gargron @peachfront Thanks, Eugen! Cos we really rely on Mastodon here for #HurricaneHelene and other emergencies here in #Florida. I know that might not be the best thing to do, but it's the best we've got during emergencies when other social networks aren't reliable anymore. |

Föderation EN Fr 04.10.2024 12:15:18 @Gargron @jgobble @peachfront this implementation heavily favours day-branded hashtags such as #WindowFriday, which reliably occupy the top positions. This might be fun once in a while, but it makes the top 3 pretty useless. |
