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 [email protected] 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?

Edit: for those interested, the explanation is in this comment -> https://lemmy.world/post/39083486/20606028

    Ok, clear, thank you.

    So this has been implemented as a Lemmy feature for more than one year, and it’s default behavioiur 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.
