# Zulip Mastodon integration
Fetch public posts (sometimes called “toots”) of individual accounts or
federated hashtags from Mastodon in Zulip! While Zulip doesn't integrate
directly with ActivityPub or the overall Fediverse, some ActivityPub servers,
like [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/), publish RSS feeds that can
be followed in Zulip using the [Zapier][1] or [RSS][2] integrations.

!!! warn ""
Due to the complexities of Mastodon federation,
following a hashtag on one homeserver does not guarantee that all posts in the
entire Fediverse will be included in the feed. Rather, all public posts
that have federated to the instance in question will be included. This
means you may get different results for the same hashtag, depending on
which homeserver you choose to subscribe through.
