Threads Introduces Searchable Topics, Revolutionizing Social Media Conversations

TL;DR Summary
Threads, a social media platform owned by Meta, has introduced "tags" (similar to hashtags) and expanded search capabilities to users worldwide. While Threads tags only allow for a single tag per post, this encourages users to be more selective in their tag choices. Unlike other platforms, Threads tags support spaces, allowing for multi-word tags. The introduction of tags is seen as a step towards building a platform that fosters healthy conversation. However, there is currently no separate interface for trending tags, and users can only see the number of Threads discussing a topic by clicking on the hashtag within a Thread.
