Let me be verbose :D There are a lot of problems with that slash in the name which makes it hard to find and post OS/2-related stuff:</p><ul><li>Mastodon web UI renders it as simply &lt;hash&gt;OS, with the <code>/2</code> dangling. I can coerce it to <em>search</em> for it by manually editing the URL with <code>%2f</code> in place of the <code>/</code>, but it seems to not actually search for hashtags but simply plaintext search when I do that.</li><li>Pleroma displays "OS/2" in your message as a link to your instance, but does not interpret it as an actual hashtag - the hash (<code>#</code>) itself is not part of the anchor text.</li><li>My preferred iOS client (Pipilo) fails, probably due to a server error, to display anything if I tap the link in your message. Other clients don't even try to send the <code>/2</code> at all, considering the slash another word separator.</li></ul><p>Whichever search engine I use (not fediverse), finding OS/2 stuff is made harder because of the same issue, and you need to treat it specially by quoting or escaping or whatever your search engine of choice prefers.</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/os2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OS2</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/ibm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IBM</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/weirdproblems" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeirdProblems</a></p>
