Are you talking about this post ? I see those hashtag :)
Yes, but #uidai ought to show up in blue, and when I click on it, it ought to land me up on https://hear-me.social/tags/uidai
Sorry, i'm not sure to understand. That's the expexted behaviour ?
Let's take this post on a video game called airborne empire :
Below there are several hashtags in blue color, and flairs in various color.
Explaination on hashtags
Hashtags are blue and work accross the fediverse.
When you click on airborne empire you will find all content in the fediverse related to airborne empire.

It doesn't matter who created it, you can find all content with this tags except those from mastodon.
Same for the tag strategy :

How it works ? User must add hashtags to their posts. If they don't tag them, we can't find similar content. As for now you are the only one who used the tag #uidai, that's the only post found.
Explaination on flairs
The colored tag are called flair and only work within your community.
Example with gestion :

If you want to create flairs, you must go to community settings, then click on flairs tab. Then chose their color and text :)
Thanks for explaining it so nicely.
It looks like only the users are clickable links, but not the actual hashtag.

The hashtag only work on mbin and piefed for now. It's a very cool feature. :)
In order to use hashtags on piefed, you need to create a post and use the hashtag field :)
It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed
Be kind! We're all learning
