19 Aug Check Out These Cool #Hashtags Instead Of Watching Another Sloth Video

Like Twitter, hashtags on Instagram make it easy to form connections with people all over the world. It’s the search function of the last couple of years, and it seems they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

You can use hashtags to find people posting about a similar niche, to research a topic or travel destination (e.g. #Mexico), or to cure a case of severe boredom. Leave those sloth videos alone and jump over to Instagram and spend some quality time browsing these cool hashtags.

#notfakesymmetry

Like #nofilter but for the professionals, #notfakesymmetry is used by the professional photographers of Instagram who have mastered the art of capturing beautiful images with perfect symmetry. While it is easy enough to fake symmetry with a mirror effect, the #notfakesymmetry images are completely natural, almost coincidental composition.

#onthetable

If #foodstagram and #instafood are more your thing, browse #onthetable for some foodie flatlaying tips and inspo. Born from the love of capturing what we’re eating, #onthetable groups posts together that contains heaps of food spread across a table, usually with cute accompaniments like tea, flowers, sunglasses and some fine jewellery to complete the look.

#thingsorganisedneatly

#thingsorganisedneatly is essentially a mix of neat #flatlay pictures without the generic tag. As with all hashtags, some are much more appealing than others, but it’s still fun to scroll through for some inspiration for when your next flatlay opportunity rolls around.

Next time you want to tag the generic #ootd #picoftheday and #follow, stop yourself and use a hashtag with cool-girl status. Opt for something that only Instagram insiders follow and you’ll be among the elite of the social network.
