Great question Spencer! In some previous work, I've looked at ways in which LGBT youth used collecting and curating as genres of participation into "community." To no surprise, especially on Tumblr, community sometimes hangs on a hashtag. I've linked the article here in hopes it may help with some of the more conceptual framing of social tactics and functions of "writing" community online.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Air-L] Literature on dimensions/attributes of online communities?

Hello all,

I'm beginning a project that is focused on making distinctions between
different Twitter hashtags based on the type and/or "amount" of
community that is present in each. Because I'm relatively new to online
communities, I want to make sure I'm not missing important work in this
area. Are there any resources that you would recommend for thinking
about what makes up an online community and what distinguishes different
online communities from each other?

Many thanks!

Best,

Spencer
