Hashtags are not clickable in the native Bluesky app but ARE clickable in 3rd party apps like deck.blue & @graysky.app. Hashtags will also come up in search results in the native app, tho people have to search without the hashtag # symbol for the search to work. cont'd - ThreadSky

Ok thank you so much for this. I hadn’t realized I’d need a new app. I saw your post about these two but it didn’t make sense to my brain 🤣

Hey, it looks like we CAN now search for hashtags (including the hashtag symbol) in the native Bluesky.

Also in theory, this is a link to the search for #kidlitchat posts, let's see if it works:

Nope, didn't work. Ah well.

Weirdly, though, when I paste that link in my own browser, it DOES work. It just doesn't work if I include the link in a post, then click on the search results link.

I appreciate you trying. I’ll still look into switching over to one of those apps. I think it’s weird that the BlueSky app doesn’t have that feature

For your posts to appear in custom feeds, it depends entirely on how the custom feed is set up. It may be a feed that searches for a certain hashtag, or a certain hashtag used by people in a specific user-curated list.
