Back in 2018-2019, I know there was a movement to use #LetsGuide to call out the best of the best of local businesses. Is that still a thing?

Also, does it matter if I use #letsguide or #LetsGuide?

I still use the #, but I haven’t seen it used by others. I want to make sure that I stop using it if it isn’t helping build a better community.

I still add other # to my posts, like #dogfriendly #patio #livemusic I hope these are still valid and helping other members find businesses that meet their needs.

Hello @RJ1

You are welcome to use the hashtag.

However, neither Maps Nor Connect support hashtag.

Agree with @C_T

And further to what he said, there is no mechanism in Connect to get posts that use a particular hashtag, since the search function works even without a hashtag.

I used this on Instagram until recently where it works effectively and people can even subscribe to those hashtags.
