Do hashtags work between lemmy and masto?

I haven't really done a proper test yet ... some trickiness is getting in the way.

But generally, there's some promise.

Lemmy recognises hashtags and creates links with them to hashtag searches on your masto instance, which actually nice.

What I wanted to test was whether a lemmy post using a hashtag will get recognised and available in the corresponding hashtag filter/search on masto.

Unfortunately, the latest version of lemmy has a federation issue ATM.

@maegul @test Well, it was a searchable recognised hashtag here on my mastodon instance so if that's not what you mean then even with the issue it seems okay? but i may be confused about what you want idk.

Well the original post came from my mastodon account, so you seeing it on your mastodon instance is just normal hashtag stuff.

It comes through on lemmy too, and is recognised with the link I mentioned above.

But I really want to know is whether lemmy people can effectively post into masto/microblog hashtag "space" and kinda merge the two somewhat more seamlessly.

Just struggling to find a test community/group that works at the moment!
