To avoid any possible doubt about this, when Tusky suggests hashtags **it is using your instance's "search" feature** to get the first 10 hashtags that start with whatever you have typed so far.

So those hashtags **are** suggested by that instance.

github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/blob… is the relevant code if you or anyone else needs to verify this.

You can also go to mstdn.ca/, search for "transrightsare" (without logging in) and see the same results.

Thanks for clarifying this.

Maybe @stux can take a closer look at that...
