FOSS Hashtag Generator

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.

This does a great job of not answering the question I guess. I obviously am aware that I can write them myself, but I don't want to. I like automating things.

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.

This is the way.

Top 10 reddit moment: worthless agreeing meme response to an unhelpful comment that doesn't even answer the question asked.

Ollama + Open web-ui could handle this.

That sounds like a job for AI, I think. I'm hopeful that you can find a good solution!

Yeah, GPT or whatever can do it, but I was hoping for something a bit more lightweight than what we've come to know as AI, as I don't want to invest in new hardware.

If you want software that analyses an image and produces tags that describe the image's content, you want a combination of image recognition, image interpretation, text generation and a promp generator to link these three parts. There is no way that any single of these applications can be "lightweight", not to speak of the combination.
