  Well coffee can be an interesting one. Some people use it to post about interesting coffees and others just use it in their “beautiful morning” post.

  There was another I forget what it was, but it ended up pulling in startrek fans instead of whatever it was the hashtag was normally used for.

    Yes, I could see that happening for broad topics. Most of the hashtags I follow are less broad, like #cityname, #backpacking and things like that. Most of my feed is follows of users I have interest in and it took a lot of effort to find those accounts.
