Do Hashtags Work in Comments?
If you insist on using uber-popular hashtags, you MUST post them in your post caption. If you wait even a second to post them in a comment, they're pretty much worthless, as your post will be buried in that hashtag feed the instant you add it. If you post hashtags in several comments, post the more popular ones first.

Consequently, why do you put hashtags in comments?

Why Are Instagram Users Putting Their Hashtags In The First Comment? By putting hashtags in your first comment it keeps the image caption clean and clear and allows the first caption full of hashtags to disappear after a few comments on your image.

Additionally, how do I hide hashtags in comments? The first, simple way to hide your hashtags is to create line breaks underneath your caption. You will, however, need a text editor on your phone to create your caption with line breaks. Per Jumper Media, open your text editor, such as Notes, and "type a dot • then press “Return”.

Also to know is, is it better to put hashtags in comments or caption?

Brands use fewer hashtags when placing them in the comments, and more hashtags when using them in the caption. Most posts have 2 hashtags when looking only at hashtags in the first comment. However, when brands are using hashtags in the caption, most posts have either 7 hashtags, either between 27 and 30 hashtags.

How many hashtags can you comment on Instagram?
