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.

      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.

    That sounds like a job for AI, I think. I’m hopeful that you can find a good solution!

      Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I was hoping for something a bit more lightweight than what we’ve come to know as AI, as I don’t want to invest in new hardware.
