Hashtags on Home feed (self.pixelfed)

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

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?

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

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.
