After a little testing, on Tusky I can see those hashtags as links, but it opens them in a browser instead of within the app, like hashtags normally open. I also cannot find the post through searching the hashtag.
So ultimately it doesn’t work.
If you open this post from Mastodon, are the hashtags active there?
The ELI5 thread yesterday where someone was asking about what was happening looked very similar to this. Nearly everyone in that thread was saying the reddit app was great and people woild be back after the protest. The upvotes just seemed fake to me, is all. One upvoted comment even said the apollo dev was lying, which confused me. Was that spez? Who knows.
One option is to get a mastodon client/account and follow a user’s Lemmy address. A funny interaction of being in the fediverse :)
The external storage plugin has been a headache for years. I feel like it’s a super important plugin but they refuse to fix it despite many issues being opened on GitHub both in Owncloud and later Nextcloud.
Of course I also haven’t gone in and done anything about it myself… 🙃
