Lets start its a thread about NICUVERSE hashtags!

All "toots" (posts) are displayed in chronological order, and there is no algorithm that up-/down-grades content based on your behaviour/interactions on the platform, or based on all the Big Data sourced and sold by Facebook, Google etc-etc.

Which means that hashtags are more important for people to find relevant content.

It is also possible to follow hashtags, like you can follow an individual.
Just search for a hashtag, for example #NeoEBM, and than click on  "👩‍⚕️+" to follow.  Now you will get all #NeoEBM posts in your feed.

Question - can we come up with and promote a set of standard hashtags?
I suggest two:

• #NeoEBM - for toots sharing publications etc
• #nicuverse - for toots about the space itself

#NeoEBM is well established and should stay. I would also enjoy:

#NeoCase: For case discussions.
#NeoPoll: For polls 

#NeoNews: For news in neonatology

#NeoPod: For podcast related topics

#NeoTech: for medtech

 

 

 

#NeoMeeting for conferences?

What about something not strictly work-related, but more community-related? Eg. #NeoLife so we can encourage also lighter discussions?

Thanks, great ideas, let’s start with this set! I make an announcement about this on the Nicuverse and then we see how it all develops!

I added the following on the FAQ page

 

#HASHTAGS
No algorithms is putting the feed together on nicuverse.org, therefore #hashtags is of great help for everyone to keep updated. Feel free to use whatever hashtag you find great for your toots! In addition, we propose the following main hashtags:

• #NeoEBM - for publications and EBM-content
• #Nicuverse - about this space itself
• #NeoCase - to mark case discussions
• #NeoTech - about NICU medtech
• #NeoPoll - for polls
• #NeoNews - for news in neonatology
• #NeoPod - NICU podcast related topics
• #NeoMeeting - for conference discussions
• #NeoLife - about everything else from small to large, on- and off-topic
