#introduction
I generate an hourly report based on the hashtags found in use across mastodon.social.
Although there are many hashtags in use across mastodon, the userbase is still small enough for 'trends' to occur infrequently (a trend being a single hashtag used more than once each hour). Most of the time this bot will instead generate a cloud of all encountered individual (single use) hashtags.
Please note:
A single user tooting an identical tag multiple times does not constitute a trend.
