It doesn't work that way. You have to get the files yourself. Hydrus is mostly for organization of files you already have, but it does have features to facilitate getting more.

Also, from the way you talked about "following the best and most active tags", it seems like you don't really understand how tags work either. Take a look at the hydrus manual. It'll explain everything, and, with some exceptions, it's worded simply enough for beginners to understand. https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/index.html

>>14306 >>14285 >>14308 I found a solution that works. It's all in the client already, too! So, first you go to your trash, hit CTRL+A to select every file. Next, you right click and go to "share > copy > hashes > sha256". Now you have all your trash files in the system clipboard. Next, you open up a new page, use "system: similar to", select your parameters (hamming), paste all of the hashes you copied from the trash, and there are all your similar files! Theoretically, at least. It will take a couple of minutes for 200 files, but it's working! Thanks!
