Hashtags are an easy way to follow conversations around specific topics. In the next tweet I'll show you how to do that in
1/2

Follow

To follow conversations around specific topics just click on an existing hashtag in a toot and it will pop open in a new column with all the toots in that topic - or - you can enter a keyword in the search box. Select one of the results and a new column will open up with all the toots. To pin the column so you can follow that topic every time just tap Settings (the three horizontal lines at the top) and select Pin.

Tips

I was reminded earlier tonight of the shortcut keys available on this app which I have yet to memorize.

To access these keys hit g + s simultaneously. This will launch what is called the "Get Started" column

the 1st pic is what you'll see. The location of the Link for the Shortcut Key is highlighted.
Clicking on the Keys Link displays the menu of shortcut keys found in pic 2 below.

@Bliss Bless you, bless you, bless you! For the last several days (since I joined), I've been hitting BACK to get there. Yay for you!

I am trying to do a tip / day.

@Bliss @patois42

You don't need to go all the way to the getting started page to see the shortcuts (though the GS is the most useufl shortcut): you can just hit a ?

Not in a text input, just hit the Shift key and / key to make a ? and you'll get the keyboard shortcuts list 🙂
