Twitter Communities now have separate hashtag pages.

A strange move? From the platform where hashtags started, community hashtags only return results from within the community.

This is how hashtags work in Telegram channels and groups.

Maybe useful for large groups in the future, but also reliant on user behaviour. Useful or not?

Is this legal?

The most common "competition" I see on social media, mostly on Instagram, currently is this: to enter follow X and Y accounts and tag X of your friends.

Is this kind of activity legal? Both in terms of platform policies, it's clearly gamification of the algorithm. And in terms of actual law, as the post is I assume a paid promotion on the publishing channel sponsored by the other channel that one is required to follow.

A new feature on Signal 😁

You can now (safely) quote Twitter community content.

Previously quoting a community tweet would have show "Tweet unavailable", but now it's been confirmed that community content can be quoted outside of a community.

Good news for community admins who have previously been unable to promote their communities by exposing top community content.

Twitter is down 🙁
Comment Spam on Instagram

This seems to be a pretty big problem. How do you deal with it?

Not interested in Topics thanks Twitter 🙄

I recently switched to the "Home" timeline from "Latest", because that is the only timeline eligable for delivery of Community tweets.

Sometime afterwards my timeline was fourteen tweets from suggested topics. The first of which was a topic I had already clicked "Not interested" on.

After that lot, there was a tweet from a list, which I do follow, then an Advert, then another Topic suggestion and finally a tweet from an account I actually follow.

Is anyone happy with Twitter's algorithmic suggestions?

Twitter - Leave this conversation

This feature started rolling out earlier this month. This is the first time I've personally used it.

Have a hashtag in your Instagram bio?

If you want it to be a clickable link both in the mobile App and on the webapp you will need to use all lower case.

People often use Camel case for hashtags to make them more readable, but if you do so for hashtags in you Instagram bio the hashtag will NOT be clickable on your profile when viewed using a web browser.

Most people are not aware of this because they use Instagram just with the mobile App.
