@wjmaggos I'm not sure of your question. You mean, is there a document about how hashtags work on the Fediverse? And a similar document about how user and content search works on the Fediverse?
the author was me -- and i have lots of experience with software design and i know that we can both have what we want. i think any intelligent well-meaning person can figure that out for themselves, and i hate arguing, so have a nice day. ;-)
Shot form blog/vlog apps do not exist because people demanded them, they exist because of the ability to make them addictive. When Twitter first came out most people in fact didn't get the point, and it was commonly said that "you have to try it to get it". More than anything they have proved addictability more than preference.
The fact that every single one of those microcontent platforms is, or has been, augmented by add-on tools like "thread unrollers" and cross posting with other platforms like YouTube are an indication that there is at least a desire to have a *choice* between bleeding out a quick post and saying something more thought out.
The Fedi exists because of Mastodon's blogging implementation but *persists* despite it, because the ActivityPub protocol underlying it is not restricted to the platform's limitations and provides a lower friction way to interact with different platforms like Pixelfed, Peertube, Lemmy and its derivatives, WordPress blogs and so on.
I guess I am old but I have a hard time believing that format works without somebody else deciding what you see next. which I get that people are currently fine with but which I'd hope we eventually see the danger of.
