Bluesky doesn't have hashtags, but the algorithmic feeds are supposed to pick up on keywords that it deems relevant to the feed you're subscribed to.
The problem with that is you will often get posts which are nothing to do with the topic of the feed, but they use a word which the algorithm thinks is relevant. I was subscribed to a general Gaming feed, and I would often see posts about Donald Trump, just because someone used the word "game" or "playing" in the post.
Another silly one was in a PlayStation feed, where I kept seeing posts from sex workers selling their content on a site called Clips4Sale. Because the URL has "ps4" written in the middle of it, it was added to the feed. ๐คท
