On the web interface, you can follow a hashtag if you click on it and then click an icon in the next picture.

BUT you can not filter it by clicking on an icon! And THAT sucks!

Please !!!! Add a filter icon next to the follow icon!

@MaryPot

The filters aren't specifically for hashtags, they're for words which may or may not be in hashtags.

They would have to build a separate hashtag system to have a filter icon next to hashtag follow icons.

I have mostly in my filter list. Things like # wordle etc. What would be so difficult to add a "button" to click that will add it to my account's default filter list?
