It would be great if users could create hashtags. Everybody else is doing it, so users I've communicated with get confused about the #channel features because they expect those to be hashtags.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't fit Rocket.Chat's architecture.

@marceloschmidt sorry as a software developer I do not understand how this cannot fit the architecture of Rocket.Chat. A simple version of hashtags would suffice in forms of a user-defined string-prefix which can even be searched for in a normal message-content search. There is no need for any database related support for those hashtags. The feature would only be UI-related as Rocket.Chat would then enumerate all messages containing at least one instance of the specified string.
Right now, everyone can "fake" hashtags by using any prefix and manually searching through the messages later on. But a UI support would be very nice!

The problem, as I see it, is that hashtag is reserved for the channels + making efficient search requires search engine, which is still a thing in progress (in 2020)
