> My favorite Mastodon feature is the ability to subscribe to hashtags [1]

You need to enable "advanced web interface", search for a hashtag, click the top right icon and then pin it, right? I had no idea I could do that. Thanks!

EDIT: I'm having a hard time adding tags like "#matrix", it insists on me using autocomplete and propose #matrixdotorg.

Ahh, what a disappointment. Being able to subscribe to hashtags is the feature I wanted to see for so long and when I saw the first comment, I thought they did it finally. But no, it's not what I needed. It should not be called "subscribing hashtags", but "pinning" them

That's what it is tho. You create a time-line filter that shows only posts containing those hashtags - is that not a subscription?

There are also more literal implementations for this like SocialHome [1] where you can click + on hashtags you like and public post with them appear in your home timeline
