You can now use hashtags in Virily. Mine are #kimsphotos #thepack #mywalk
The ones I seem to use most are #photography, #nature, #dogs #pets #wildlife
What are yours? Do you have any favorites that you use more often than others? Do you like the idea of using hashtags?
I am a zero. You need to please explain. Thanks.
Well, you found one with even the cover photo stripped.. Hashtags do not work in Virily. This is a very old post.
I found this link
https://virily.com/topics/
Yes, the topics section. Hashtags do not work here though.
Norman explained it the best in the comment below.
very interesting article!!!!!! hashtags
Thanks Kim. I will also create my own. Very useful information for everyone
Glad they added this option. Will use it next time I post!
There has been a search option on the left-hand panel since before the ability to add our own tags arrived. I’m unclear whether that search works only on tags or does it search the text (or title) of posts, and has its functionality changed?
I don’t have favourite tags to use; I just think they should be relevant to the post. And there seems no point in using a very common tag, since your post will be buried among hundreds of others when someone searches on it.
Gotta figure this out properly I guess 🙂
Just been chatting to Support about tags, and I’ve established that Virily’s search option does not distinguish between hashtags and regular text within a post. In other words, hashtags have no special functionality beyond regular text. Or to look at it more positively, all text is treated as a hashtag 🙂
Try it yourself: do as search on something first with, then without, a #; you should get the same results!
I see what you mean Norman. So you don’t need to use the # key. So, you cannot tag someone by using a hashtag either. Thank you for the additional information!
What I really mean is that if you include a word in the title or text of a post, then it already works as a hashtag.
Thanks for sharing, Kim. I don’t have favorite hashtags
You should make one!
I like that we can write our own hashtags now! I still don’t have favorite tags though.
Make one, for your content. Like ellie925 or one that anyone can type in Ellie825 to find your work.
This is very interesting new information, Kim! Thank you! Is this written as usual in our post?
When you make a new post now, it will be on the right hand side by the I agree and categories tabs. I guess from what Norman has said you do not need to use the #. Just the word works just as well. Like Norman also said, there is no use using general tags as they will be buried along with all the others. I do think everyone should make a personal tag though. Like my three. Thepack, Mywalk and Kimsphotos.
waooo So Amazing post
Kim!!!!
Thanks, I am really excited about this new feature!
Yes. I’m too Welcome Kim!!!
I have not used hashtags on the site but I guess its time to start.
Love your dogs!
When you post it will give you the option. I have used it twice now, I love the idea. Now people from everywhere can look here when they use certain tags. Great way to draw more traffic.
