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.

    I don't know what's worth tagging and what isn't. I don't know which tags are popular and so have followers vs. which ones aren't.

    The information exists but isn't presented anywhere convenient.

    If I have to do homework before posting a picture I'm massively more inclined not to bother, which isn't particularly good for the Fediverse.

    I would love something that could give me suggestions for relevant and popular hashtags for my content.
