If you missed it too: it’s a service that listens on relays for hashtags, and boosts posts containing them, to followers following any given hashtag. To give hashtags much more reachability despite the horizon of federation. <br/><br/>I proposed something like this in the context of natural disaster response. Users could come to a consensus on what hashtag to use for, say, # HurricaneFoobar, and posts containing the hashtag could spread far and wide. But because I care about safety, I suggested that it needed selective outbound relaying, so that only posts containing a list of opted-in hashtags were sent to the relay. I see that managing what gets sent to relays is out of scope for tags.pub. <br/><br/>I also don’t see any mention on the github issue list about tags.pub being able to defederate known bad actors, so I guess there’s nothing stopping your posts from reaching poast and friends, due to ActivityPub’s nontransitive defederation behaviour. <br/><br/>User-to-user and user-to-instance blocks will similarly get laundered, so if you let tags.pub boost your posts you may find unwelcome people reading your posts. <br/><br/>So, this is a cool idea, it could be helpful, but it’s not ready yet IMO. 2026-06-28T02:28:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9dv7e4k0eezumadt34m49tdg75aa3vf2uvkjmmhsh3flvskwxc5gzyz5hcn07ahmvtuhnxfp2jr34jgg5w44stqyv4fdfxwsy7eug7gh3qd5kqq6 Dear Melbourne,<br/><br/>We’re writing to let you know that your free 7-day trial of Autumn™ ends tonight at midnight.

It demonstrates that not enough people are willing to pay for it even at fairly low price points. I believe we are winning this game of chicken with the venture capitalists. Keep it up! 2024-12-18T23:17:58Z
