Thanks for your quick answer!
Yes, I even checked again. I don't follow any of those tags.
Maybe there's a trick to push content to timelines? 🤔
@Ja_E_I_O_U@norden.social
There is no way to push content, that's why I am wondering if it's one of the tags? Can you see lots of tags by the way?
Is there anything above the post in your timeline indicating that someone boosted it?
Also it's worth clicking on the account of the post just to check if you've accidentally followed it (this can happen on some apps when people scroll quickly).
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
It looks like this to me. I don't see more tags in a Browser. And nope, I don't follow it.
@Ja_E_I_O_U@norden.social
And you don't follow any of those like #blog or #vlog or #sports or whatever?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services nope
@Ja_E_I_O_U@norden.social
And this is on your "Home" timeline?
I'm not sure what to suggest, as there is no other way it can be in Home timelines other than follows, boosts and hashtags.
Has this happened for any other posts? If you could find one or more other posts where this happens, perhaps there might be something in common between them.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services OMG, this is embarrassing now: Apparently I didn't click on one of the short hashtags when checking if I follow (too big finger apparently 😜
).
I found indeed one I follow when comparing with my list of followed hashtags again, where I didn't capitalise "cdl" (for a completely different topic).
I'm sorry for wasting your time, many thanks for your help! I'll be more aware the next time! 🙏
@Ja_E_I_O_U@norden.social
Ahhhh, okay! No worries at all, this was a legitimate thing to ask about! 🙂
You're not the only person to raise this topic. It would be useful if Mastodon had a label above each hashtag post saying which hashtag(s) caused it to appear in your timeline.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I think I once tried an app who showed this. Maybe Tusky, Pachli or FediLabs? 🤔
huiiii!!!
