I wrote a super simple bot that boosts anything from a hashtag. The poor man's group feature. https://github.com/Gargron/boost-bot
@Gargron what would you use this for?
@valerauko ambassador accounts. you can't follow an instance or a hashtag. but you could follow an account that boosts them
@valerauko @Gargron If I understand the federation model correctly: it can help new accounts get their posts propagated to other instances.
Pinning a hashtag will miss any posts that belong to users on other instances who haven't been followed by someone on your instance.
