  • It should work if you post using a Lemmy account. However, if you use a Mastodon account it will show as “\#” which is not working as expected right now, someone has been opened an issue talking about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3789

    Edit: After reading your comment again… oops, I think said too fast.

    The situation above only applies when you try to post to Lemmy Communities, and also, I just tried it by myself, hashtag in Lemmy seems won’t work.

    Testing-ground: https://lemm.ee/post/5513264

    Usually, the hashtags in a Lemmy posts is a hyperlink, i.e. [#hashtag](https://example.com/tags/hashtag), for example this post posted by a Mastodon account:

    https://lemmy.world/post/3754328

    I don’t know if hashtag (strings) works on Mastoson, because it might be processed (e.g. HTML character-escaped) when transmitting to another instance, and the testing community i posted is not federated with other instances.
