   I'm so excited to present my work on #Fediverse-wide hashtag federation, search, and subscription at #ActivityPubConf.

   The recording will be available later, but if you're interested in enabling a global consistent view on hashtags, know stuff about DHTs or #ActivityPub relays, you can have a look at the paper: https://git.orlives.de/schmittlauch/paper_hashtag_federation/src/branch/master/paper_hashtag_federation.pdf

   Please contact me about any questions, remarks or other feedback!

   So here's a TL;DR:

     The problem about the current state of hashtags in the fediverse is that users have a fragmented view on posts, depending on their instance. Some posts containing a hashtag never reach your own instance, so you won't see it. This is bad for decentralisation and coordination.

     I plan to throw some additional P2P stuff at the fediverse: All instances are distributing the responsibility for relaying or storing posts (just their IDs) among themselves using a Distributed Hash Table. ->

     Now we a defined entities in the network where we can subscribe to posts of a hashtag, query their history and send posts to when publishing.

     I considered load balancing, redundancy and security concerns. My solutions may not be perfect, but they're the best I can think of.

     The recording of my talk at #ActivityPubConf on Hashtag Federation is now online.
     It is a nice overview of my work.
