As I start trying to spin this thing up I'm curious about how I can create local tags. I've taken a quick look at the actual masto codebase to see if I can support this sort of stuff natively, but wow, it's a huge mess: a pile of js and ruby dependencies and a dozen frameworks. So I'm curious if I can just shoehorn in my own tag nomenclature; for example, using '!' as a local hashtag.
!localtags
@phooky i think that’s how hashtags emerged in the first place. Just as searchable. !emergence !freshmemes
