How To Follow Hashtags On Instagram
If you’re not already following hashtags on Instagram, you should be. Following hashtags on Instagram is a great way to engage with the community using that hashtag.
I’m sure you have noticed by now, that we’re a little bit obsessed with Hashtags, and the best place to play with, and make use of hashtags is, of course, on Instagram.
So how does the Follow Hashtag function work?
It’s really easy to follow hashtags, you simply type the hashtag in the search bar (i.e. #socialmediacoach), and then it will come up with the option to ‘Follow’, you either select it or you don’t. I’ve attached a screenshot I took where I was asked if I want follow the hashtag I was searching “#socialmediacoach”.
What happens then is that the Instagram algorithm will randomly select posts from that hashtag’s feed and add them to your feed.

Why You Should Follow Hashtags
This is an exciting new feature which will allow you to keep up to date with others who use and like the same hashtags as you. Remember, a hashtag is basically a way of finding posts and people who like the same things you do. Each hashtag is almost like it’s own community and by being active in that community you will expose your brand to others in that community too. It’s a great way of growing your following and building a community around your brand, legitimately!
