## X (Twitter)

X ranks posts by what they say, not by their tags, so hashtags matter less than they did.

- Use them for events, chats and communities that already use a tag: `#WWDC`, `#BuildInPublic`.

- One or two, at the end. More reads as spam and can cut reach.

- Skip made-up tags nobody searches.

## Bluesky

Hashtags are clickable and searchable, and many custom feeds are built on them.

- Use the tag a feed or community already follows: `#ArtistsOnBluesky`, `#BookSky`.

- One or two is normal. Tags count toward the 300 characters.

- Write naturally first; the feed brings readers who care.

## Mastodon

No algorithm and limited search, so hashtags carry discovery.

- People follow hashtags, so a tag puts you in their home timeline.

- Two to five specific tags: `#Photography #FilmPhotography`, not `#Photo`.

- Write them in CamelCase (`#OpenSource`). Screen readers read the words.

- Tags work across servers; check what people on yours use.

## LinkedIn

Hashtags are clickable but carry little weight.

- Up to three, specific to your field.

- At the end of the post, not in the middle of sentences.

## Find the right tags

- Search the tag on each platform and read recent posts. Active and on topic? Use it.

- Note the tags people you follow use.

- Look at what feeds (Bluesky) and servers (Mastodon) exist for your topic.

- AI assistants are good at suggesting candidates. Check each one by hand before using it.
