Even though micro.blog doesn’t use hashtags, I include them in my posts for cross-posting purposes. Mastodon picks them up just fine and they work as expected, Bluesky displayed them but they weren’t functional (expected as there was no implementation). Recently, Bluesky implemented hashtagging, however, the hashtags included in cross-posts from micro.blog display as plain text and are not clickable or recognized.
Had a thought that maybe it had something to do with not composing in their post editor, I made a quick note in Bear (my notes app) including a plain text hashtag, copied and pasted into a new Bluesky post to see if it would be recognized and it was. While not a perfect analog by any means, it still got me wondering a little more about where the issue lies.
Thinking this could very well be on Bluesky’s end as it’s a new integration but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.
