How do I mute/block annoying hashtags? I went into my settings menu and filtered out #AnnoyingPhrase should I not have used the #? Is there something else I should do? @fediverse

Hi! Judging by your profile, you're using Mastodon. (Greetings from Lemmy. Oh the wonders of federation.) The filters seem to work for me, whether I use the # or not.

Within the filter settings, check that you have selected the relevant contexts to block it. Then try reloading the page/app and see if they still appear.

You can post on Lemmy using a Mastodon account? I tried it once but I can't seem to post or comment because the community appeared as mere user profiles.

This one appeared here because it tags the community (see the tag at the end of the post). That's how you do it from Mastodon.

Yeah, you just toot at the community (with a little bit of special form)
