#heycohost on gts, at least, hash-tagged posts need to be public to be visible across hosts.
though i still never see tagged posts that aren't from a follower
@meow same on akkoma. tagged posts still need to federate to your instance for you to see them.
on normal instances with global feeds, this isn’t a problem, because all public posts get federated through those feeds anyway. but on the league, they need to trickle through people’s following feeds.
there are ways to fix this that people are looking into.
@vision i remember some talk about relays, but that they're not universally supported?
