Awesome, another potential benefit of standardised tag I didn't even think of. There may be more.

Would it be inappropriate to draft an FEP for this? One that addresses;

* #FediDevs (or whatever) as the standard tag for fediverse dev meta

* Filtering out posts with the tag by default for new accounts, unless they opt-in to receiving them

* Auto-adding the tag to all posts output by developer forums like SocialHub and ActivityPub.Space

* Methods like the ones @julian describes above, for ingesting and making use of posts with the tag

* ?
