Hashtags on Home feed (lemmy.ca)

I'm following #Vancouver hash tags and I don't see anything showing up on my Home feed; there's been new posts since following the hashtag though. Those new posts with the hashtag should be showing up on my Home feed right? I know they do on pixelfed.social.

I see a post on my pixelfed.social home feed for an account @pixelfed.ca that has #Vancouver in the post.. but on my pixelfed.ca home feed, I'm not seeing that post. I can search for it though? Is there some kind of home feed setting I'm missing?

Does anyone else have a similar experience with following hash tags that aren’t showing on the home feed?

hmm that is strange. will poke around to see if i can figure anything out.

Thank you 🙏 if you need help with posts to test with, I can post some stuff too 🫡

yeah I'm definitely seeing the same behavior. none of the hashtagged posts from accounts I'm not following are not showing in my feed.

will continue to investigate and will maybe check the open pixelfed issues to see if this is issue other people are having too.

edit: I checked in pixelix, official pixelfed android app and web and none seem to show any posts from followed hashtags. weird.

I wonder if pixelfed.social is running on a different commit, because it’s able to pull those hashtags on the home feed.

There was another user that mentioned they have the same issue on pixelfed.ca:

i found some issues with the same issue, so at least it's not just our instance:

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/5577
https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4485

in that second issue a user does say it was somehow fixed, but not sure how. will keep searching to see if I can find a solution.

Ohhh interesting. Would have been nice if that person shared the solution the admin found. Maybe the pixelfed discord has some clues. I’ll take a look this evening 🙏
