People mention a lot how important hashtags are for discovery on mastodon/fedi, but one thing I never see mentioned is that when you follow or search for an HT, you only get results from posts that have federated to your instance (ie posts made or boosted by at least one person on your instance).
On huge instances, nbd; but on smaller ones, HTs may seem significantly less active than they really are.
If you like following HTs, boosting HTed posts makes it a more effective feature.
