The 29 Most Viral Tags In Medium (September 2022 Update)

These are the tags with the biggest number of readers on the platform

This is not another tag list where I tell you the number of stories and writers that each tag has. That’s useless AND easy.

Instead, I counted how many followers every major tag has and (manually) organized them in a list. The problem is that most people don’t know how to see the following of each tag.

I have access to the number of followers of every tag because I have the Medium App.

By using it, you can see how many readers are following every single topic and tag. I don’t know why, but this feature is NOT available in the desktop version, only in the app.

Anyways, here you have the result!!

Remember not to use popular lists of tags, because nobody takes the number of followers into consideration (almost nobody knows how to access this information).
