Why this collection is structured this way

Why this page exists

Artists can make discovery more precise by naming medium, subject and creative community rather than relying only on broad art tags.

Use medium and subject first, then process or community tags when accurate.

Frequently asked questions

How many hashtags should I use?

Use the smallest set that accurately describes the post. Start with a few broad tags and add focused tags only when they match the subject, audience and platform.

Should I use the same hashtags on every post?

No. Keep a small relevant core if it fits, then change the focused tags to match the specific post. Relevance is more useful than repeating a large block.
