@Friendica Support hello, i would like some help please to understand how to solve my confusion about the "right" way to follow #hashtags, using #Channels ... or otherwise some better way.
i follow a large number of hashtags [as a glance at my profile would attest]. afaict / afaik, fediverse posts bearing these tags appear [or are supposed to] in my "Network" timeline [with "Everybody" Circle & "Latest posts" Channel selected].
of my many tags, possibly my most "important" ones are #AusPol, #FOSS, & #Linux. in order to be able to efficiently locate all posts with these tags each day, rather than have to meticulously scroll down the full "Network" timeline [which is dissipated via also having all the other tags, & all my Followed accounts' posts], in Settings i created three dedicated Channels [one for each of those tags, ofc]. then i added each of those custom Channels to my Timelines, in Display Settings.
however, the result is just hopeless; really disappointing & frustrating. over recent years i have had several Friendica accounts, ie, at several instances, & doing the above has never worked properly in any of them, not only my current instance.
using the AusPol Channel for example, as it is the worst by far, every time i check it, its most recent post is several hours old, & often as bad as 12 - 18 hours old, with numerous other posts entirely missing.
i say "missing" because otoh, reviewing my Saved Search for #AusPol shows all these other posts, which therefore also appear, buried, in my full "Network" timeline.
over the months & years in exasperation, i have revisited the dedicated Channels in Settings, & for the
please, what am i doing wrong? what aspect of Friendica's Settings have i been consistently misunderstanding / misusing, that causes this disappointment?

Ich habe vor zwei Tagen in #Friendica verschiedene #Channels eingerichtet. OpenStreetMap, CustomROM und Regional mit diversen Hashtags.
Im OSM Channel ist ein Beitrag aufgetaucht. Aktuell ist er leer. Der CustomROM Channel ist die ganze Zeit leer.
Im Regional Channel werden Beiträge angezeigt.

In absehbarer Zukunft wird es möglich sein sich eigene #Channels zu erstellen.
Ich fände ja klasse, wenn es eine Art Basar gäbe, wo man die eigenen Channels veröffentlichen kann, damit sie von Dritte übernommen/importiert werden können.
Ist so ein Export/Import angedacht?
Gibt es Ideen, wie man solche Channels-Konfigurationen schön präsentieren kann (git wäre immer eine Möglichkeit. Da sind dann aber viele, schnell überfordert)?
