What Is a Hashtag?
A hashtag is used to tag a post with a keyword or a topic. This tag makes it easier for everyone to discover subjects of their own interests.
How to Use Hashtags?
To use a hashtag in your post/search, type the symbol # followed by the keyword you want to tag.
Tapping/clicking on a hashtag will allow you to find other posts tagged with the same hashtag.
Hashtags cannot contain spaces or punctuation.
Hashtags appear blue and they can be included anywhere in a post.
Tagging your post with hashtags will allow other people to find your post much easier.
There is a wide variety of content on GETTR, but hashtags make it much easier to find specific content you're interested in.
Benefits of Using Hashtags
By including a hashtag in your post:
Anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your post.
Anyone who clicks on a hashtagged word in any post will find other posts (likely including yours) that include this specific hashtag.
If your hashtag becomes very popular, they are more likely to become one of the trending topics.
