How to Search the Trending Tags

It doesn’t take long to realize that the Trending list on the Steemit homepage does not include a wide range of topics, so it takes intentional effort to find content that is more specific to your interests. So start with a brainstorm: name your hobby and think of allllllll buzzwords related to that topic. Next, to find a topic that is not listed under Trending, type the following into your search engine and GO!

Be Specific In Your Tag Search

Contrary to instinct, becoming extremely narrow and specific in your tag search will help you find the handful of others share your niche interests. Alternative buzzwords gives indication Steemians that think like you. Consider that for a moment: searching a tag like #photography is so massively broad, but if you hold a hyper interest in capturing the night sky, you will find only 5 other enthusiast (a.k.a. your kindred spirits) under steemit.com/trending/astrophotography.

For instance, I am surprised to find that #sexuality is not a major trending tag here on Steemit, but I am happy to find what I am looking for under tags like #gender and #lgbt.

By finding those 5 Steemians bold enough to take an obscure tag and run with it, you immediately find a group with a common bond. This also give way to opportunity help another Steemian move their content to a tag that would be more beneficial (i.e., #celiac would thrive better under #glutenfree).

So don’t fear searching everything you love under the sun or using a tag or two on your own post for your niche interest. I hope your find these tips helpful!
