"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.

#Yep finally they can all have their multi paragraphs long tags and have them working as they want them to work

i hate how you can only have one tag in threads though 😞

No need to shout!

Where was the shouting?

Oh that's weird, my client is showing your hash-prefixed comment as a markdown heading (which I thought Lemmy was supposed to do), but when I look at it in the web ui it's just normal text with a literal hash symbol

That's how it looks on my end too, I wanted it to look like the tumbler tags. I wasn't aware it was supposed to be a mark down, would have changed it if I knew, but Lemmy didn't really seem to know that either. Except for the one you uses.
