Top Facebook Hashtags by Category
Facebook hashtags do less work than on any other platform here, and a page that pretended otherwise would be selling something. One to three, mainly for Groups and for the small amount of hashtag browsing that still happens — and expect discovery to come from shares and Groups instead. This page is short on purpose.

How many to use: 1–3 on one Facebook post. Every hashtag below is one people actually use in volume, so pick the ones that genuinely describe the post rather than the ones at the top — relevance is what decides whether a large hashtag works for you.
