# Ideas and hashtag sets

> Start a post from a prompt, and keep the hashtags you use most one click away.

## Ideas

Open **Ideas** in the composer's right rail when you know you want to post but not what. Each idea is a prompt with a
starting line, grouped by kind: educational, storytelling, thought leadership and more. For example:

- **Answer a question you keep getting.** If three people have asked you the same thing this month, that's a post.
- **The thing that didn't work.** What did you try that flopped, and why do you think it went wrong?
- **Teach one thing, step by step.** Pick one skill you've gotten good at and walk through it.

Pick one to drop its starting line into the editor, or search for one by name. **Pick another idea** shuffles, and
**Dismiss idea** hides one you'll never use.

## Hashtag sets

A hashtag set is a named group of up to 30 tags you use together, like "Launch week" or "Hiring". Sets belong to the
workspace, so everyone uses the same ones.

### Create a set

Open **Hashtags** in the right rail and choose **New hashtag set**. Give it a name and add the tags, with or without
the `#`.

### Use a set

Click a set to add its tags to the end of the post. Tags already in the post are skipped, and the network's limit
holds: on Instagram only the first five go in.

### Each network's rules

| Network   | Hashtags                                                                                                              |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Instagram | At most 5 on a feed post or Reel. Instagram refuses 6 or more. Stories publish no caption, so tags there are dropped. |
| Threads   | One topic per post. Set it in the **Topic** field; without one, the first `#word` becomes the topic.                  |
| X         | No hard cap. X recommends two at most. They count toward the character limit.                                         |
| LinkedIn  | No cap. A few specific ones, at the end, work best.                                                                   |
| Bluesky   | They link to search and power custom feeds. They count toward the 300-character limit.                                |
| Mastodon  | With no algorithmic feed, hashtags are how people beyond your followers find a post.                                  |
| YouTube   | The first three show above the title. Over 60 and YouTube ignores all of them.                                        |
| Facebook  | Clickable, but they do little for a Page's reach. One or two at most.                                                 |
| Pinterest | Search reads a Pin's title and description, so keywords matter more than tags.                                        |

Write multi-word tags in capitals, like `#BuildInPublic`, so screen readers can read them.
