On Damus, just search using the magnifying glass 🔍 to Search for a hashtag. Start typing in the search box. Then click “Search hashtag: #_____” under the search box and you’ll see some results.

Follow some folks who seem to be posting stuff you like. If you see something that sucks, Report it if it’s really crap or just Mute User if you don’t want to see their stuff again. No need to get in any arguments online, ever.
