However, when you first join TikTok, you look for familiar features: the like button, the comment section, people to follow, and the hashtags. Who you follow and what you like play a huge role in shaping your For You page. Don't try to make sense out of the hashtags under a given post, the further you stray from Straight TikTok the less sense they will make.
The hashtags do, however, provide a doorway to a wealth of information and resources — if someone is offering expert advice, they're sure to always use the best hashtag. On the other side, more than any other platform, hashtags on TikTok don't really function like fixed categories, which means that every hashtag is guaranteed to have a lot of videos that are unrelated to that category.
Despite that margin of error, the following hashtags are just a small sample of the wealth of knowledge TikTok can offer.
#Editing101
A TikTok is only as good as its edit. Transitions, effects, music, image quality (or lack thereof) it all comes together on TikTok. Most people use editing apps to help them out. With #Editing101, you won't just learn how to edit TikToks, the hashtag is also the doorway to photo and video editing knowledge useful for any platform.
#Rollerskating
It looks like rollerskating is one of those TikTok trends that started out as promising quarantine pass time. But once you buy the skates, you realize you don't know the first thing about roller skating and a trip to the ER is the last thing anyone needs now
#Rollerskating is full of quick tutorials that can teach you the basics: how to stop, how to turn, how to skate backward.
#TikTokTaughtMe
#TikTokTaughtMe is for the trivia fans among you. It's where all the TikToks about how you're doing it wrong, what they won't tell you, things you didn't know, things you should know, and numbered fun facts about common occurrences live. It's where the niche studies are cited and most videos are captioned with the exploding head emoji.
#FurnitureFlip
You spend way more time at home now. So naturally, every corner is a potential candidate for a makeover. And if you didn't look around your home and see future DIY projects before, you certainly will after scrolling through #FurnitureFlip.
Again, if the hashtag doesn't immediately display inspiring offerings, just spending time on it, liking, and following whatever does catch your eye will open a doorway to the part of TikTok that trades in unparalleled DIY tips.
#BeautyTips
If you only follow beauty influences on Instagram and gurus on YouTube, this hashtag is for you. This is the best entry point for any beauty fiend. #BeautyTips intersects with Medical TikTok, so you'll find a lot of medical professionals offering quick factoids and tips. There is a lot to go through and just like beauty advice elsewhere, it should be taken with a grain of salt. You should suspicious of "miracle products" and extreme practices, but if you dig deep, it's easier to find more alternative, experimental, and queer-friendly creators on TikTok than it is on other platforms.
#TikTokRecipe
In 2020 alone, we've seen the internet get rocked but TikTok cooking trends like Dalgona Coffee and Cloud Bread. #TikTokRecipe is for those who live in foodie Instagram. If you care about baking specifically, #BakingRecipe does not disappoint.
