  • It should work if you post using a Lemmy account. However, if you use a Mastodon account it will show as “\#” which is not working as expected right now, someone has been opened an issue talking about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3789

    Edit: After reading your comment again… oops, I think said too fast.

    The situation above only applies when you try to post to Lemmy Communities, and also, I just tried it by myself, hashtag in Lemmy seems won’t work.

    Testing-ground: https://lemm.ee/post/5513264

    Usually, the hashtags in a Lemmy posts is a hyperlink, i.e. [#hashtag](https://example.com/tags/hashtag), for example this post posted by a Mastodon account:

    https://lemmy.world/post/3754328

    I don’t know if hashtag (strings) works on Mastoson, because it might be processed (e.g. HTML character-escaped) when transmitting to another instance, and the testing community i posted is not federated with other instances.












  • I think it will last… Until big companies doesn’t use it anymore.

    Edit:

    I forgot to explain why.

    Many big companies uses Twitter to announce things, like new products, updates, etc.

    I think when they all stop announcing on Twitter, or even change to another platform to continue their announcement (for example, some of I used to follow have been moved Mastodon), these users will think that there’re no reason to use Twitter anymore, then Twitter would less known, and less users use it afterwards.
