What is #hashtag and How to Use It.

A hashtag, denoted by the # symbol, is primarily used to categorize and index content on social media platforms. It turns words or phrases into clickable links, allowing users to easily find and engage with posts related to specific topics or trends. This helps users discover content and participate in conversations around shared interests. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
• Categorization:

  Hashtags group similar content together, making it easier to find posts about a particular subject. 
• Discoverability:

  When you add a hashtag to your post, it becomes searchable and discoverable by others who are interested in that topic, even if they don't follow you. 
• Engagement:

  Clicking on a hashtag will take you to a feed of all the posts that have used that hashtag, allowing you to explore related content and participate in conversations.
