Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic.

@FediTips I also think it would be useful to add hosts to descriptions of some tags(like #TuneTuesday and #Monsterdon ).
I have bookmarked your suggestion, I'll try to add tags and then go back to this

@FediTips #MovieClub for the biweekly Mastodon Movie Club!
Thank you, added!

@Kingu No worries!

However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverseCopy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies
#TilingTuesday for pics of cool tilings
#MakanApaToday for pics of South-East Asian food
#Catstodon and #MastoCats for cats when it's not Saturday
#PhDLife and #PhDone for (very recently ex-)PhD students -
@FediTips might I suggest:
AccessibilityIsHotAF — accessibility-focused spicy/adult content
ActuallyAutistic — conversations about autism from folx who are autistic
Thank you!

I don't think anyone suggested #bikenite yet but that one should be on the list (bicycle themed Q&A on Fridays)

Also for the event based hashtags (monster on, BikeNite, etc) they are very good for filters since they will often end up overwhelming your timeline if you follow the wrong (right?) people

@FediTips Nice. I have wanted this list for ages!
A couple ND inclusive suggestions:
-ActuallyAutistic – The *author* of the post with this hashtag is autistic (self-id is fine, it's not about gatekeeping autism). Not meant to be used by parents or caregivers to describe autistic people, even if they really really feel they should be able to. Protip: use like a signature, not an adjective describing someone, to make it easier to guess if you're using it to identify yourself or misusing it. OK, it's a really badly named hashtag but it's what we're stuck with.
-Autistic – The correct way to describe an autistic person if you want to use a hashtag as an adjective.
-AskingAutistics – How to ask an autistic person a question about autism. Not to be used to get info on a random topic like autism is a public help desk. -

@FediTips
#FairTradeMusicFriday spikes every Bandcamp Friday. It is to promote music on Bandcamp alternatives such as #Faircamp and Mirlo (and others) that treat artists better than Bandcamp. -

@FediTips Please tell me you're using CamelCase format for tags? It's so screen readers pronounce individual words rather than smashing all the text as if it was one word and mangling the pronunciation.
It's also easier for sighted ppl to read. A longish phrase that isn't in CamelCase is sometimes too overwhelming or time consuming to figure out and I skip over the post.
Such a helpful list, thanks for doing this.

Yes, of course!
I also urge people to use CamelCase in the website's guides related to hashtags.
