It is a great privilege reading this your post ma, because I have learn about hashtags and how to set them well according to the way the moderator arrange it in his or her contest...
With this great post of urs I have learn how to arrange it, Thanks for sharing this wonderful post ma...
I am not sure what you mean by "according to the moderator", do you mean the host of the contest or both?
Both can be wrong and if you want to promote what you write it's wise to use the right hashtags.
On Steemit and wherever you post. X , Instagram, facebook aren't using the same methods. Perhaps soon enough the will but you have to try out what works for you.
