well I have multi column layout, one home, one notifications, one pinned hashtags and one "public/local/whatever". Can't see where these trendings shall be visible.
a global trendlist is impossible to do in federated networks but each instance has its own trends and the more instances your instance "knows/sees" and the more people you follow, the more trends you'll eventualy pick up... they are displayed bottom right in the timeline ;) i think the threshold for display is 5
they have to be in public posts (and i guess from different accounts but i'm not sure about that) ;) so if 5-10 account on your instance each post a toot containing #trending, it should eventually pop up... btw: bottom right with the standard web interface
correction: not multiple accounts from 1 instance but from the fediverse your account/server knows ;) for example last week i suddenly had #mobilizon trending despite i'm the only account in my instance ;)
as i said before, they appear in the standard theme at the bottom of the right column... but i have no idea what actually triggers the display but they are fetched from /api/v1/trends ;)
accidentally went to https://mastodon.grin.hu/@grin and lo! It's there. But not when I'm logged in and reading my multipanes. Hmm. This smells like a bugreport time.

•some instances do show trending tags
some others don't as that's a controversial feature

•that's the "advanced" layout, the one with several columns
There's a basic one
If you use that, you could find the trending hashtags on the right, I think

you can set or configure them in settings/featured_tags ;)
