I can't believe how long it took for them to actually implement this. This was a braindead obvious change to make ever since it was clear no one cared about sending tweets by SMS anymore.
Now they need to do the same with hashtags. Fitting what I want to say and including more than 1 hashtag (usually I just want 2, sometimes 3) is really difficult for me.

- tedmiston 10y agoThe Instagram 30-tag limit seems to work well in practice. Plus the most common tags are all over-saturated at this point, so including many of them reaches more bots than people.
- theseatoms 10y agoThen count all hashtags but the first.
- rhizome 10y agoWell, but GP wanted like 3.
- cableshaft 10y agoThey can already do what you're suggesting. I actually include the hashtag mid-message sometimes for that reason. You're right, though, and I don't know how to fix it. I see lots of hashtags on Instagram posts and it's not amazing but whatever. Actually I don't even think the hashtags need to be visible, necessarily (although some people start viral movements with them, like #blacklivesmatter, so I'm not sure). Like when I add "#boardgames #gamedev #magicaloctopus" or something like that, I really don't care that they're visible to people seeing my tweet in their feed, I just want my tweet to appear when people are looking for those topics.
- shadowfacts 10y agoIf they do the same for hashtags, they shouldn't appear in the tweet body. This seems like it could lead to what tags on Instagram are like (people piling on 20+ tags), which is pretty ridiculous.
