I used to get good reach with hashtags, but now it feels like they don’t move the needle. Are you guys still using them?

Hashtags lost some power but aren’t useless yet. They work best when specific and relevant not just popular tags. The key now is mixing them with strong content and engagement. Don’t rely on hashtags alone; focus on creating posts people actually want to interact with.
 
Hashtags still help, but reach is more about engagement and content quality now. Focus on niche-specific tags, mix popular + low-competition ones, and keep posts engaging.
 
Hashtags still work, but you need to share highly engaging posts that people love to react to.
 
From Elon himself "Please stop using hashtags. The system doesn’t need them anymore and they look ugly." - source
 
Yes, the label still works but not as well as before.
 
Yeah, hashtags don’t help much now. X focuses more on keywords in the post than hashtags. I still use a few relevant ones, but not too many.
 
if its a trending and relevant hashtag sure it might help, if its a random or funny one then no
 
i think if they are niche related, they still can. Some people still track their interests with hashtags
