Hashtags

Hashtags are a feature on Darflen that groups together posts with the same theme.
==Layout and usage==
A hashtag (#example) will show up as a link when mentioned by a user. Posts that include a certain hashtag will not only be placed in the poster's profile page, but also its respective hashtag page.
A hashtag page lists all the posts using its hashtag. The header shows the hashtag name and below shows how many posts are used that hashtag. The banner may show an image from a post using the hashtag. These pages are linked via the Explore page, and by clicking on the hashtag link in a post.
==Notable hashtags==
Any hashtag can be used in posts, but some may be used more than others. Here are some notable ones:
======
A hashtag created by PkmnQ based on a tradition formerly common in his school of saying "Nighty morning" as a greeting at 12 AM. The rulebook was carried over from the tradition it was based on, and consists of these three rules:https://darflen.com/posts/62e31807672317b91a07f12a
#Nighty Morning starts strictly at 12am, but you can start at a minimum of 11:55 pm if needed.
#Nighty morning shall end at 3:59 am. This is to avoid an exploit where people who wake up later can still say nighty morning
#Nighty morning can be said in other languages, given it still means “nighty morning”.
In hashtag form, the third rule is no longer as relevant. The #nightymorning hashtag has been the most used for most of this iteration of Darflen's history, despite it usually only being used at most once per day.
======
A hashtag in which users post memes. It mainly rivals #nightymorning for the most used hashtag.
======
Initially, the #sexydarflen2024 hashtag was spammed to 500 posts. The posts were soon deleted, however the count stayed at above 500. It soon gained a legitimate following, and after having its count reset, soon became an actual contender for most used hashtag due to a logo contest and a mayoral election being held, incentivizing use of the hashtag for promotional purposes. The hashtag is now no longer used but the hashtag is used in 2025.

This hashtag is an important part of Darflen lore, being a clone/parody of O-Block. It is mostly used when referring to any unspecific part of the Darflen lore.
===#xx===
The #xx hashtag was a contender for the most used hashtag, consistently beating #nightymorning back when it was used. However, it was controversial due to most of its posts only containing "#xx xx." It was used daily, much like #nightymorning, except with no restriction on time, allowing it to be posted more consistently. The hashtag page is now no longer available to prevent further spamming.
== Notes ==
*Number hashtags (e.g. ) do not have a hashtags page. This is because Darflen's URL for hashtags is /hashtags/[hashtag name], and the page for all hashtags is /hashtags/[page number]. So, linking to a number hashtag makes Darflen interpret it as a page number for the list of hashtags, and the list for the specific hashtag does not show. 
*Previously,[when?] it was possible to use a hashtag, but due to a bug, the hashtags page would not register this hashtag. This means that for some hashtags, the first hashtag in the hashtag page is predated by a post with the hashtag that did not register.
