📢 How to Use Hashtags in Your Posts

Using hashtags (#) in your posts helps categorize them and increase visibility.

✅ Content-Based Hashtags: Categorize your post by topic.

• Example: #Video, #Podcast, #News, #Journalist

  
  

  ✅ Reposting Hashtags: Indicate that you're resharing content.

• Example: #Repost, #Shared

  
  

  ✅ Trending Hashtags: Join popular discussions.

• Example: #BreakingNews, #TrendingNow

  
  

  ✅ Location-Based Hashtags: Connect with users in specific areas.

• Example: #Chicago, #NYC, #USA

📌 Where to Add Hashtags?

• In the title of your post for better visibility.

• In the post description to help with filtering.

• In comments when engaging with discussions.

💡 Tip: Avoid excessive or irrelevant hashtags, as this may reduce engagement.

🌍 Location-Based Hashtag Searches

Want to connect with users in a specific area? Use location hashtags in posts and your profile.

📌 How to Use Location-Based Hashtags:

1. Add a city, state, or country hashtag in your post.

   • Example: #LosAngeles, #Texas, #Germany

2. Update your public profile’s location field to appear in searches.
