A new #fediverse tool I've been working on (please be gentle on it!): hashtag.place! It is a simple way to follow #hashtags as bot accounts, useful for ActivityPub implementations that don't support native following of hashtags, and for smaller/self-hosted instances that may not see a lot of the tagged posts from larger instances.

It's pretty simple:
1. Pick a hashtag you want to follow (e.g., #running)
2. Replace the #-sign with an @-sign and search for that user on the hashtag.place server (e.g., @running)
3. Follow the bot account and it will every few minutes post new posts with that hashtag seen on larger instances!

(The bots will self-delete if they have 0 followers for a few days, so don't worry if you don't like it and unfollow).

Feedback welcome for my first foray into #ActivityPub development!
