Preparing hashtags falls under the category of permissible activities (mubah), and it is allowed as long as it does not lead to something forbidden. It is not prohibited as a pre-emptive measure (sadd al-dhara'i') if its benefit is preponderant, as is the case with grape cultivation. However, its preparation is forbidden if it includes anything unlawful.
