I recently joined Pixelfed and, considering there’s no algorithm, hashtags are the only way to be discovered.

I hate hashtag optimizing, but I also don’t want to upload my image to someone else’s random server before posting it to pixelfed, just to generate hashtags. Where should I look to find something I can host myself, or even something that runs natively on Android/Linux, that’ll generate hashtags/keywords for an image?

    Just write the hashtags. You know what’s in the photo you took, write like 5-10 and you’ll be fine. Once you do it more often you’ll find the active hashtags.

    Some autocorrect bot won’t do that accurately.

      I don’t know what’s worth tagging and what isn’t. I don’t know which tags are popular and so have followers vs. which ones aren’t.

      The information exists but isn’t presented anywhere convenient.

      If I have to do homework before posting a picture I’m massively more inclined not to bother, which isn’t particularly good for the Fediverse.

      I would love something that could give me suggestions for relevant and popular hashtags for my content.

      This does a great job of not answering the question I guess. I obviously am aware that I can write them myself, but I don’t want to. I like automating things.
