Hashtagging just makes it look like you're spamming all platforms and not knowing which platform supports them.
HI Simon,
Hum. Spamming? It's only 2 tags, so I think I am quite modest in my use of tags :-)
I look at this from the fediverse perspective. As I see it, hashtags and guppe groups are the non-threaded-fediverse equivalent to lemmy communities/kbin magazines: a grouping of posts per topic.
As to many people on mastodon still only know mastodon and do not know of the other services on the fediverse. So I think a small cross-post from time to time from lemmy towards mastodon/fediverse might not be a bad thing to create a little bit of awareness about the service.
Spamming = using something to post the exact same content on many platforms. Normally bots use tags on platforms that don't have hashtags (eg on reddit or lemmy), you effectively make yourself look like one.
