These days, many people in Bangladesh are trying unsuccessfully to popularize some Hashtags in the world through social networks. But many people do not have a great understanding of this work. Because of this, some people even lose their social media accounts.
I thought of writing this article to tell you how to use #Hashtags properly so that our social network accounts don't have problems. Enter the struggle by knowing beforehand how to do the #Hashtag revolution properly.
Right and wrong practices and myths
Today you and I know that these hashtags are widely used in social media such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. But remember that the function of hashtags in all these social media is different. For example, if we take Twitter and Facebook, these hashtags are trending with different images, videos, posts, if not, content being added to social networks with these hashtags. But when posting these Hashtags on Twitter, you can release the hashtags on the internet by entering the normal tweet as a retweet. Remember that adding hashtags as a comment on Facebook is useless. If you continue to post like this, there is a possibility that Facebook will consider it as a suspicious comment/activity and disable your account.
Many people are deactivating their social media accounts these days due to this.

When using these hashtags, it is more effective to have more people posting one post at a time than one person posting several posts in a row.
When using hashtags, it is more productive to put some context with content along with the relevant tag rather than just the hashtag.
Remember that the use of hashtags only in social networks does not affect the ranking in Google Trends.
The most important thing is not to forget to research the roots of the hashtag before using it. You can get rid of many inconveniences that arise from it early.

History of Hashtags
The history of hashtags dates back to ancient Rome. In the past, the measurement unit of the scales (libra) used by the Romans to measure weight was the pound (pound). Later, to use the abbreviation libra pondo, writers used to write the two lb together and use a line to separate the two arms of the letter pair horizontally.' # ' This symbol continued to be popular among people. There were people like Isaac Newton among those who often used this symbol. This popularity was the reason for this symbol to be added even to printing machines in later times. Until the 19th century, this pound symbol was slowly associated with technology.
In the first half of the 20th century, Bell Systems began to replace its rotary dial telephones with more efficient keyboard models. They agreed on a 3X3 square keyboard. But since "0" is used alone on the keyboard, an asterisk ' * ' and a diamond-shaped mark were added to fill the gap on both sides.
Around 1960, as a result of the Bell Institute's efforts to connect these telephones with computers, instead of the diamond shape, the symbol used in computer programming (known today as the square mark in Sinhala) was included. That symbol was called "octothorpe".
In spite of these past stories, the main reason for this to become such a popular symbol today is because of the person named "Chris Messina". It was Chris Messina who suggested in 2007 that Twitter should add the pound symbol # and a facility to carry out various actions through it. However, at that time Twitter rejected it, but later the company worked to add it. Those immigrations have come to the point where we remember hashtags when we see #.
Unknown facts
Hashtags are considered to have been used for the first time in 1988 on the Internet Relay Chat or IRC platform. It is believed that this was used to separate images, content, and video into related categories in group messages.
Stowe Boyd, who was a blogger in August 2007, was the first to use the term "hashtags" for the '#' symbol. At that time, if you did a Google search, the only result you would find for "hashtags" was that blog post.
Twitter officially added # to their website in 2009. Shortly after that, they started adding the Trending Topics concept and the popular Hashtags Home.
