Curious whether the number of tags in a post affects people's willingness to boost. Is there a point where you think a tag has too many posts for you to comfortably boost it?

@ljwrites I prefer when hashtags are listed at the end. I don't care much about the number as long as they're relevant (not spamming).

When hashtags are at the end the first few are listed and the rest are hidden behind an "and more" link. That reduces clutter. Maybe some folks (crossposting?) don't know about this feature?

The only time I remember using hashtags in the main text nowadays is when it's part of a group's name, eg, #MEAction = an advocacy group for ME/CFS patients.
