I wonder if pixelfed.social is running on a different commit, because it’s able to pull those hashtags on the home feed.

There was another user that mentioned they have the same issue on pixelfed.ca:

Thank you 🙏 if you need help with posts to test with, I can post some stuff too 🫡

That makes sense... but I am not sure that's what is happening with my case... maybe I'm wrong.

I followed the hashtag before the new post were made with the hashtag. Do I need to follow the account that posted it too? It's odd cause the account that posted with the hashtag, is an @pixelfed.ca account. So I would have thought that post definitely should show up on my home feed.

Order of operations:

1. I searched for #Vancouver, there was one post with that tag found.
2. I follow the hashtag. Nothing on my home feed still (expected).
3. After a few hours (or a day) my home feed still doesn't show anything with #Vancouver, so I searched the hashtag again, this time, there's two posts in the search results. Neither show up on my home feed.
4. I open the post to the new #vancouver post, and notice it's from an account on @pixelfed.ca too. Shouldn't this post show up on my home feed at least?

Hopefully that is a bit more clear.

Yeah mines been like that for a day also. I had the same experience with importing on pixelfed.social. It took a few days. Maybe there’s a big queue.

I'm following #Vancouver hash tags and I don't see anything showing up on my Home feed, there's new posts though. Those new posts with the hashtag should be showing up on my Home feed right? I know they do on pixelfed.social.

EDIT: It's weird. I see a post on my pixelfed.social home feed for an account @pixelfed.ca that has #Vancouver in the post.. but on my pixelfed.ca home feed, I'm not seeing that post. I can search for it though? Is there some kind of home feed setting I'm missing?

EDIT 2: does anyone else have a similar experience with following hash tags that aren’t showing on the home feed?

Ah interesting! That must have been it! I see the import function now 🙏 thank you!!

I see this when I go to https://pixelfed.ca/settings/import

The help centre page says it's only enabled for admins: https://pixelfed.ca/site/kb/import

Gah. Time to search and load all the profiles 🥲👀

Ah okay. So it's just a matter of.. the more people use this instance, the more things are cached. Gotcha! Thanks for that explanation 🙏

There is some weird issue with federation on pixelfed... you can't search up hashtags either. I am not sure how the caching in federation works, but it seems like you have to wait for pixelfed.ca to "encounter" the post somehow first before you can search for/view them.

EDIT: There's definitely something about the way pixelfed.ca is configured. Or maybe pixelfed.social is configured in specific way (latest commits in the repo?). On pixelfed.social, you can view mastodon accounts (and all their photos) and hashtags. But on pixelfed.ca (and another server I've tried before), I can see the account, but none of the posts.

Yeah. Apps make the experience of mobile that much better. Voyager is a very good web app. Its just missing the snappiness of a native app.

Raccoon for Lemmy is the closest I can find to what I want.

Curious if anyone has any other suggestions for native and open source in Android.
