hashtagging
Adding pound signs
Hashtagging is the practice of adding hashtags to social media posts—words or phrases preceded by the # symbol that make content searchable and link it to broader conversations.
Strategic hashtagging increases visibility: She spent more time hashtagging than writing the actual caption.
Excessive or irrelevant hashtagging is considered spammy.
