Modern social media uses handles (@ symbol followed by a unique nickname) and hashtags (# symbol followed by one or more words, without spaces).
Handles are used to mention the name of a person on the same platform. The person mentioned is notified that they were mentioned in a post, and the other members can easily look up who is that member.
Hashtags, instead, are used to label topics, so that people interested in a certain topic (#gardening) can access multiple contents from various users based on a shared interest.
