If you’re following the Micro.blog holiday photo challenge, there will be a special “pin” to unlock. It should be active soon, and it won’t be too strict about participation… I’m going to make it so it only requires posting in about half the holiday prompt days. Not too late to catch up! 🎄

@manton Tell us more about this “pin”. How can we get it, if we have been participating in the challenge?

@dmejia Check on the Account page at the very bottom, there should be a “pins” link.

Hi Manton , I am somewhat new to micro.blog and am wondering how to take part in these Photo Challenges.
I can’t see much on the About page.
How does it all work without hashtags ?
Thanks.

@mwaters Welcome! For most of these challenges, we post an overview page like this one with the prompts, and then we manually go through posts and add them to a special collection. We’re still catching up on that, so not everything is added yet. Micro.blog doesn’t use hashtags, but sometimes people use a hashtag anyway to help identify them.

@manton yeah I still use hashtags. They are alright when not abused. When cross posted, they still work. And I edited my blog theme to make hashtags link to mastodon.social hashtag of that tag :) I dislike them when ppl just use them at the very end of a post with as many as they can think of.
