Quiet public

@yalajon ⚝ currently there is less of an issue than previously. But the federation for a long while added everything with a hashtag of #ActivityPub, and this added a 'spout' of all kinds of stuff from across the fedi. Random topics and context collapse followed. Furthermore there are no titles in #microblogging 'sticky notes', so excerpts from first line of text were shown, making it even more messy.

Effectively #SocialHub topic list became like a link aggregator for sticky note excerpts.

We had really good experiences with two federated categories following each other. It might seem this depends a lot on the use case and how it's set up.

Waiting for private category federation to get crackin'.
