Thanks for recommending Ritetag. Actually, what it does is far more useful than anything related to trending hashtags. In fact, the social and content networks do that for you for free.
There's a problem with trending, though, and none of the social or content networks seem to grasp this: some of need to get something back from social. Our livelihood depends on it. So, for us, rather than "trending," which just means that many people are sending posts/Tweets/etc. that contain a hashtag, we want to know which hashtags, relevant for a topic, are getting positive outcomes for those who include them in a post/tweet/upload/etc. This is exactly what RiteTag does.
Get these features right inside your workflow by getting the RiteTag browser extension.
Questions welcome!
Hey Rob,
Just to add onto your topic, especially for Twitter, you will want to research which hashtags will be most effective to attach to your posts. Try not to use more than 3 at a time (rule of thumb) on Twitter, but feel free to spam hashtags on instagram.
For researching hashtags, check out this link. I've already searched #indiecomics. You can see related hashtags, who the big influencers are, as well as popularity.
http://hashtagify.me/hashtag/indiecomics
Couple that with another website called ritetag, which I have a link for below. This will help you scope out how many tweets per hour that hashtag is currently experiencing as well as how many views per hour that hashtag receives. All of which are important.

Hope this helps a bit :). Best of luck out there to everyone.
Depends how much time you want to put in.
In my experience gamers are on reddit, but they hate 'advertising' on their /r/gaming or whatever. If you post it on gaming reddits, making sure they feel it's worth their time, not an advertisement.
Also remember who your audience is. I see tons of people posting their greenlight or kickstarter with #indiedev #gamedev on twitter, and while fellow devs might help you out with a "yes" they probably won't buy later.
My advice, first try Twitter, maybe instagram, both with some nice hashtags (https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamer) Then after you have gathered some feedback try for a reddit post. It can blow up and be huge if you do reddit right.
Sure is a solution: you need to not use the same hashtags continuously. Get RiteTag, and you'll use the browser extension to right-click and generate hashtags for any photo. Copy, post as a comment.
>It's the laziest form of journalism.
No... Actually, it's a really an overly complicated and difficult form of journalism. All you need to do is pick a site for trending words, and... look at it.
Thank you! I'm at 1400 currently. My biggest influx is from /r/androidgaming. I've posted it there 3 times over the last 3 months and without fail jump up to 100+ installs / per, which falls off over 3/4 days back to the normal rate.
Don't do ads unless your app is pay up front, they're too expensive. Use twitter hashtags to post your game. Use https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamedev
Set up a mini site for your game with video, screenshots, logo, description, basically a presskit.
Wait a few days until " AndrewH" is posting on droidgamers.com again and email him at 702records [at] gmail [dot] com about your game. (he's on sick leave and will be swamped in mails next few days he comes back) PM me if you have any questions :)
https://twitter.com/hashtag/notyourshield is pretty popular ( https://ritetag.com/hashtag-search/1?q=%23notyourshield )
> seem about the same in size
Appearance and deception, you know.
There are countless gamers having fun online and offline with all kinds of games, kickstarted and traditonally indie games are booming, mojang just got bought, notch and co. have billions to invest in new and crazy ideas.. so these people don't have to micromanage their lives to achieve what they want (to have fun, develop games, etc.) .. contrasted with the SJW crowd who need to constantly spout their bullshit, filter content, react and scream. (That's why /r/gaming has/had mods affiliated with the SJW mindset. Because being a mod on an popular subreddit takes time and effort, playing and enjoying games .. not so much.)
> All in all very little good seems to be coming from this.
I think, so far, only good has came out of this. A lot of people were forced to think about these issues, some did, succeeded to critically separate good, okay, meh and offensive, bad, hateful things, cases, situations. Others, not so much.
Rather than analyze, you're better off simply generating hashtags. Get RiteTag, especially the browser extension. Right-click on image or text to generate hashtags. Copy, paste.
https://ritetag.com - I have it, rely on it for the last four years.

I also want to point out that the https://ritetag.com/ website I used here seems to be updating #s "live" as they are changing slightly from when I first posted this. But still gives you basic idea of #s here.
If you don't have many followers on Twitter, there might be some hashtags you could use to get bots to retweet you at first. Here are some to check out: https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamedev
Some people have suggested instagram as a platform for sharing gamedev things, but I personally haven't used it.
For finding playtesters, you can try /r/playmygame/ or /r/playtesters/
Thanks, but kindly read my question carefully, and please open https://ritetag.com/hashtag-stats/CRISPR?uuid=0b2dd8fc-9301-4d24-9a9b-c2c6c0a576e5 and use the download(s) bewlow one or more sections. No login or registration needed. And then, I'd really like to know how the data can be used for social media marketing. The precise process, and for what marketing aim.
If it would help if the .csv or .xls files were formatted differently, such as the data columns in different sequences, please let me know, we can probably do that.
Thanks!
Sure, so some basic stuff still works with Twitter. Being active, constantly posting content with media (screenshots, GIFs etc..). Always post on #screenshotsaturday. Engage with others (press, other developers etc...)
Ritetag.com is a good place to find some helpful hashtags to use.
You can also use your website to funnel traffic to your Twitter and Discord via call to actions.
With Discord, you want to make sure you have an incentive and make sure you include that incentive with any interactions with press as they will include that information in any coverage you earn, which will funnel traffic to your Discord.
Many thanks for including RiteTag!

I would like to have the big picture around the hashtag engagement per influencer, on Instagram, + something similar to https://ritetag.com/ which gives instagram hashtag suggestions on active hashtags / overused hashtags/ etc..
Yeah they are very important ! You could take a look at ritetag, maybe it can help you a bit, here's a example with the "gamedev" hashtag, it shows you the ones that could add up perfectly to the one you always had. Also if your visibility's going to be immediate / over the time, and if your post's gonna drown if the hashtag is over-used ahah ! Give it a try ! https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamedev

^ Found this treasure. Search a tag and it'll show tags similar - both what works and what doesn't, and what "sort of" works.
I don't have any insights about tags to reach actual gamers just yet. But I did just discover rite tag today. They give insight as to how popular various tags are. Im going to be looking into them a little more this week.
