What are Message Hashtags? Hashtags act as filters for message posts. Common examples:
Posting Messages:
If you specify a Hashtag with your message, anyone selecting that same hashtag filter will see your message.
You can make a message essentially private by specifying a hashtag and unchecking the Public box when posting the message. Your message will only be accessible to others using that exact hashtag.
Reading Messages:
If you filter by a hashtag, you will only see messages tagged with that hashtag.
There is no library of hashtags. To correspond with a group, that group needs to make up a unique hashtag and all use it. If you create a hashtag no one is using, you simply will not see any messages.
