Topics

#Topics are a great way to categorize your posts and chats.

Topics are Hylo's tagging system that help organize and discover content across the platform. They use the hashtag format (#) and serve as a way to categorize and connect related posts and chats.

If you add a #Topic to your posts or chats, it will show up in that #Topic's Stream, with all the Posts and Chats with that #Topic. If there is a chatroom associated with a #topic, your chat / post will show up in that chatroom.

Creating & Using Topics

• Add a Topic: Type "#" followed by your topic name when creating a post

• Topic Suggestions: As you type, Hylo will suggest existing topics from your groups

• New Topics: If your topic doesn't exist, simply finish typing to create a new one

• Multiple Topics: Add as many topics as relevant to your post

#Topic-Based Chat

Chat rooms are created manually by a group steward and are connected to a topic. Any posts that use a #topic connected to a chat room will make it appear in the chat room if it exists. See Creating Chat Rooms.
