LDS Hashtags

HashTag_IconMany social media sites let you categorize your posts by using hashtags. Hashtags consist of a pound sign (#) followed by a key word(s). These subject tags can be searched on sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Flickr, and Tumblr to find information about a given topic. For example, #ChurchofJesusChrist and #LatterDaySaints are common hashtags that people add to posts about the Church and #GeneralConference is a common hashtag for general conference.

Below is a list of popular hashtags used to connect and share gospel-related content.

You can include more than one hashtag in a post, but don’t get carried away. For example, including both #GeneralConference and #Christian would be appropriate when tweeting a quote from conference that referred to Jesus Christ. Using the hashtag #Christian may help it be seen by more than just the Latter-day Saint community.

And remember the words of President Dieter F. Uchtdorf from the April 2011 General Conference:

With so many social media resources and a multitude of more or less useful gadgets at our disposal, sharing the good news of the gospel is easier and the effects more far-reaching than ever before. In fact, I am almost afraid that some listening have already sent text messages like “He’s been speaking for 10 minutes and still no aviation analogy!” My dear young friends, perhaps the Lord’s encouragement to “open [your] mouths” might today include “use your hands” to blog and text message the gospel to all the world! But please remember, all at the right time and at the right place.

Do you intend to use hashtags when you share information about general conference?
