Facebook downgrades group hashtag topics

Facebook’s on-again, off-again relationship with hashtags appears to have taken another turn for the worse, with the company announcing that hashtag topics in groups, which were added in 2019, will be devalued next month.

Topics in Facebook groups will soon disappear, according to a detailed explanation provided by Facebook in its Help Center. As a result, admins won’t be able to manage the list of group hashtags or add hashtags to other users’ posts. Although anyone can still add hashtags to their own group posts, doing so will display all related Facebook posts that contain that particular hashtag.

Therefore, it’s not a big step; rather, it just makes it harder for group admins to categorize various discussions in the app, which was originally intended to be a way to better organize group conversations.
