Topics help the right people find a post. They also tell UpTrust which topic a trust vote belongs to.
Where to find it: Open any post card in your feed, or open a comment's ... menu.
Add a topic to a post
On a post, use + add tag next to the topic pills. Type a topic name, or choose one from the suggestions. Press Enter to add it.
The post shows up to three topics. When UpTrust has a score for a topic, the pill also shows that score out of 10.
Add a topic to a comment
On a regular comment, open the ... menu and choose Add tag. The dialog is called Add a tag. Type a topic, pick a suggestion if one fits, then click Add tag.
Use # while writing
In the post editor, type # and at least two letters. UpTrust shows matching topics. Pick one to insert a link to that topic page.
A hashtag also adds that topic to your post or comment. If no topic has that name yet, posting creates it, a few new topics at a time. In a group, or on a private event's wall, hashtags only add topics that already exist; they never create a new one. A hashtag in a group channel message adds no topic. UpTrust uses the first ten hashtags in a post or comment.
Adding a topic is neutral
