What's wrong with finding content using hashtags and keyword searches?
Right now hash tags on the largest pixelfed instance (pixelfed.social) are broken—clicking a hash tag in a photo’s caption takes the user to a missing page. Even on other instances where browsing by hash tag isn’t broken, they aren’t federated, so if you click #Amsterdam, you’ll only see other photos on the same (smaller) instance, and it’s not even obvious whether that’s working right because the post count will say one thing, but it’ll only show you like three or four photos.
Lots of potential, but it’s just not there yet.
