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.
