I wrote a super simple bot that boosts anything from a hashtag. The poor man's group feature. github.com/Gargron/boost-bot

@Gargron what's the use case for this except making the signal/noise ratio worse? Feels like a tool for spamming

@victorbjelkholm @Gargron use case: you want to have a group of people talking about a certain topic and all people to be able to see all toots in the "group" without following all people in the group explicitly (or "pinning" the hashtag all the time).

Basically, groups like in StatusNet/GNU Social.

@victorbjelkholm @Gargron all people in the group, that is.

This is the single StatusNet/GNU Social feature I miss most on Mastodon.
