But on Surf, when you add a hashtag as a source in your feed, you can unite posts from across *several* platforms including Bluesky, Mastodon and federated Threads accounts. This allows you to see what people are saying about that topic, independent of the platform they are posting on. This is the power of open social networking, under the hood it’s all one social graph.<br/><br/>If you are using <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1ekk7lalr2sjnymaetdmjuwqpd44y8fxf256na22e99uleleee7fsvmvy6m" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Surf</span> (<span class="italic">npub1ekk…vy6m</span>)</a></span> go to your feed settings and try it out.
