These links help people find posts about topics they\u2019re interested in. To make a hashtag, write <b>#<\/b> (the number sign) along with a topic or phrase and add it to your post.<\/p>\n<p>For example: I just saw the cutest puppy! #<a class=\"_5dwo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/dogs\">dogs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you click a hashtag, you\u2019ll see a feed of posts that include that hashtag. You may also see some related hashtags at the top of the page.<\/p>\n<p>According to Facebook, please keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You must write a hashtag as a single word, without any spaces.<\/li>\n<li>You can include numbers in a hashtag, but punctuation and special characters (like $ and %) won&#8217;t work.<\/li>\n<li>You can search for a hashtag using the search bar at the top of any page.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll only see posts that were shared with you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Add_Hashtags_on_Facebook_Posts_%E2%80%93_Automatically\"><\/span>How to Add Hashtags on Facebook Posts &#8211; Automatically<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>dlvr.it can <a title=\"Three Pro Tips on using #Hashtags to Increase Social Engagement (Infographic)\" href=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/2014\/08\/three-pro-tips-on-using-hastags-to-increase-social-engagement-infographic\/\">automatically add relevant hashtags<\/a> to your Facebook posts.
