While looking for posts with the #degoogle hastag with my mastodon account, I realized that mixed in the hastag timeline there were posts to the !degoogle@lemmy.ml community, but not containing the hastag itself in the text.

I tried to look around, but In wasn’t able to find an explanation of how this is supposed to work: is it because of the name of the community that is the same of the hastag? Or is or because the hastag is “embedded” in the community itself?

    it’s a setting for the particular community

    No, not really. The devs made it an automatic one. Not ones you can manually assign to a community.

      Oh, on. The setting thing was what I understood from the discussion in the link, but I didn’t go very deep
