does this foretell the eventual addition of a trending tab?

I suspect that they will probably still favor custom feeds over hashtags / hashtag feeds. I wonder instead if there would be a good way for them to surface a "trending" equivalent for feeds - which feeds have had the most growth in usage (posts, saves, likes) over the last x number of hours.

It certainly means someone could build one, Technorati-style (e.g. third party apps could index tags and provide access to trending feeds).

Oh definitely. @nowbreezing.ntw.app , for example, does a trending word thing already. Wouldn't be hard to do that for hashtags - probably even exists already somewhere.

I've actually included @nowbreezing.ntw.app into my app @skeetsapp.com for iOS / iPad OS because I found it super useful. Skeets already supports hashtags. When clicking on one it triggers a full term search on the meta tag. It also lets you add hashtags when composing a post.

Interesting, are you scraping trending words from @nowbreezing.ntw.app? 👀

Yes! Of course, I’ve asked @nickwrightdata.ntw.app for permission to do so.
