Tags aren’t followable entities. You still need to follow individual “actors”, and that means a user or a “group actor” like a kbin magazine, lemmy community, or peertube channel.
The hashtag “following” done by kbin magazines is just a saved search from the microblog stream.
Right, but if Threads starts blowing up #Boston or some other Magazine I follow that could be a problem right?
Yes, but it’ll still be because people on your instance are following Threads users.
Kbin let’s you block domains, though. I’m not sure if it works for microblog posts yet, but if it doesn’t, it should.
