@benpate As I understand it (and I don’t know if this is a fediverse thing or a Mastodon thing), I can follow a hashtag, but posts with that hashtag have to originate on my home server, or get to my home thru “account following” for me to see it. My server won’t just comb the entire fediverse for posts with that hashtag.

If I am correct, then I can’t learn about new artists on another server (if it is fairly new and not widely followed) by following hashtags, I would need to follow an account. That’s why I suggested some sort of “announcement “ account I could follow.
