====== Common Hashtags ======

Following and searching hashtags help us to keep abreast of specific interests. These 'follows' can then be added as RSS feeds to a feed reader of choice for later consumption (if that's your cup'o'sumption).

In order to help make Infosec.Exchange a more consistent experience, below is a list of hashtags that have become commonplace within our community.

<block important>**When [[faq:post_share:content_warning_how_to_use|using a Content Warning (CW)]],** only the hashtags that occur within the CW itself will be searchable, not any that appear in the (initially) hidden content. As such, //be sure to include relevant hashtags to help others find your post in the CW message itself//.</block>

====== Multi-Word Hashtags ======
Note: as [[https://infosec.exchange/@Tam5@mastodon.social|Tam]] [[https://mastodon.social/@Tam5/109305286937210648|points out]], it is helpful to capitalize words in multi-word hashtags -- it makes it easier for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader|Screen Readers]] to read them properly, e.g. ''#ScreenReader'' is more accessible to screen reader users than ''#screenreader''

====== Characters allowed in Hashtags ======
Note: as [[https://infosec.exchange/@pixelnull|pixelnull]] [[https://infosec.exchange/@pixelnull/109362350625453405|notes here]] All punctuation breaks hashtags, except for underscore.
