Increase the spread of your posts with.. #HashTags

Big tech now ignores the humble HashTag through #algorithm control. On here you’re IN CONTROL

Couple tips:

1. For accessibility capitalise the first letter of each word (TitleCase). Then screen readers can read each word. Do this even if the suggested tag that pops up is all lower case.

2. Anyone can follow a tag and that’ll help those people find your post. As your post will show in their feed. Follow some HashTags yourself!
