Hey #MedMastodon, any thoughts on using Guppee Groups (https://a.gup.pe) as an alternative to the Communities function on the bird app? Once a group is created you toot @(group name) and it keeps track of all related toots.
Another option would be subscribing to hashtags so they show up in your feed. @nick I think I heard this is a feature in a coming update to mastodon. Any insight?
@gjsprague @nick I know I can pin them in the web application. Not the app as far as I know. Or I just haven't figured it out. Would be interested in the group thing you mentioned
@gjsprague @nick Very interesting how would that be different than the local timeline?
@zainsyed @nick local timeline shows you everything being talked about on your instance (e.g. everything on med-mastodon). Guppee groups act like hashtags where only things tagged w/ that topic show up. However, you can’t “follow” a # and have updates show up in your home timeline (for now). If you follow a guppee group whenever someone tags that group all followers see it in their timelines.
@gjsprague @nick Oh very interesting!
