"...featured hashtags are displayed prominently on your profile..."

I don't see #FeaturedHashtags on my own #profile page, even though I have about a dozen of them listed in the settings (link). I'm using the web interface on my #desktop and #phone. Is that feature disabled? Maybe those #hashtags only shown to others who see my page but not to me? #MastodonQuestion @feditips, maybe you know? (I looked for it on your site.)

Featured Hashtags — Mastodon 🐘

Mastodon hosted on mstdn.socialMastodon 🐘A general-purpose Mastodon server with a 500 character limit. All languages are welcome.

I'm so confused! There's a place in my bio to set "featured hashtags" and the docs say "Once featured, a link to the hashtag will be shown on your profile, with the date of the last time it was used in a status, as well as the total number of statuses in which it was used."

But WHERE on my profile? I can't find a profile view in the web interface that shows these links. Can somebody share a screenshot? Am I just blind?

FEATURED HASHTAGS

Is there a handful of #Hashtags that you like to post about? Do you want people to be able to easily see your posts about these when they look at your profile?
Then #FeaturedHashtags are the thing to use instead of just posting them in your #bio.

Continued thread

It's hard to choose what to place in #FeaturedHashtags, with a limit of 10. Too many competing interests and identities. I expect I'll keep changing them over time.

Here's my current list:
1. #iNaturalist
2. #Photography
3. #Flickr
4. #Queer
5. #Gay
6. #Insects
7. #Bees
8. #Botany
9. #Brooklyn

Some thoughts:
* I wonder if 3 is needed if 2 is present.
* I'm most likely to change 4&5 in the future, as I learn more about which #Hashtags are preferred.
* I like 6, but I love 7! 😃
