I opened a new instance with you and saw the storage go way up with the photography hashtag. It was an easy fix. I'm curious why you suggested adding hashtags through fedi buzz instead of just adding the hashtag directly through Masto search.

Thanks for the services. I also opened a PeerTube. Very easy set up and great pricing. I will be recommending. 👍
