  3. If you have a paid account you can add additional hashtags, up to a limit determined by your plan. See the pricing page for details

Hastag feed settings

Hashtags

This is the same search interface that you saw when you first created your hashtag feed. You can add, remove and swap hashtags in a feed whenever you like.

Feed Type

  • Top post: Returns popular posts with this hashtag

  • Recent posts: Returns the most recent 24 hours of posts with this hashtag.

Multi-hashtag sort

This setting only applies if your feed is mixing more than one hashtag.

  • Mix: Your feed will return an even mix of posts from each hashtag.

  • Timestamp: Your feed will return the most recent posts first, regardless of hashtag.
