hashtags

Hashtags are a really useful way to get your public posts noticed, and also let you more easily discover other people's posts. If you want to reach a wider audience, it's a good idea to use hashtags.

Here's an in-depth guide to using hashtags on Mastodon and the Fediverse:

#BotKit now supports #hashtags in your bot messages!

You can now add searchable hashtags to your bot's posts using either our dedicated hashtag() function or through BotKit's extended Markdown syntax. This makes your bot's content more discoverable across the fediverse and helps engage with broader conversations.

Whether you're building a news bot, content curator, or community engagement tool, hashtags can help your bot reach the right audience.

@fedify/markdown-it-hashtag, a markdown-it plugin that parses and renders Mastodon-style #hashtags, just released 0.3.0! In this release, link, linkAttributes, and label callbacks became to take one more parameter, a markdown-it environment, which enables your hashtag rendering more flexible. For example, now hashtag links can be dynamically determined:

import MarkdownIt from "markdown-it";import { hashtag } from "@fedify/markdown-it-hashtag";const md = new MarkdownIt();md.use(hashtag, { link: (tag: string, env: any) => `${env.origin}/tags/${tag.substring(1)}`});const html = md.render("Your Markdown text with #hashtags!", { origin: "https://example.com"});

@fedify/markdown-it-hashtag 0.3.0 is available at both JSR and npm!
