This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tags — basically hashtags with a twist — are now rolling out globally on Threads, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Thursday.
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.
“If you share on Threads, [tags are] a great way to help connect with people who are interested in the topics you’re talking about,” Mosseri says.
I like Meta’s implementation here, even the single-tag limit, as it seems like a smart way to prevent annoying hashtag spam.
That said, we’ll have to wait and see if users actually adopt the tags so that they can become a useful way to find conversations about a topic.
