May I ask a stupid question? Do you prefer using hashtags within the text oder better as a seperate line after the text...? Are there any advantages for this and that variant?

I myself find it sometimes a bit confusing to read texts which have the hashtags inside...

@Amiga_News Personally, if there are few hashtags I include them in the post body, if there are too much with a resulting confusing text I put them on the bottom, the only problem is that putting them on the bottom they eat preciuos characters :)

@allanon @didier @ghosttie

Thank you very much for your answers!

Well, okay, then the extra characters needed for that line seem to be the only drawback.

Honestly, I don't quite understand why Mastodon adopted this hashtag feature from Twitter.

In principle, it's just a special emphasis on a word. It could have been done differently, I think?!

@ghosttie @allanon @didier

Of course. But I think they could have managed it in a different way...for example just by writing it bold...?

@Amiga_News @ghosttie @allanon probably just easier because that’s what people are already used to.

Clients could render it in bold though if they chose to.
