“Tags work a little differently than hashtags do on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). When composing a Threads post, you start a tag by tapping the # symbol and then typing out your topic. But instead of being limited to just one word, you can type out a whole phrase (with spaces!) and add special characters, according to Mosseri. However, you can only make one tag per post.”

I wonder how the tags will work if they federate with ActivityPub.

      #what bro you dont like sentences why not its good for everyone to be able to just do whatever they want its totes okay because then you can like be like really specific about your hashtag so only like minded people can see your stuff and you can make real connections fr fr no cap

      Edit: JFC it’s going to be so stupid.

          Me neither, but you see plenty of screenshots. My point being that twitter/mastodon-style hash tags aren’t the only way of doing tags. The thing Threads are suggesting that make it not a tag is the fact you can only have one!
