How do I embed a Viva Engage feed onto a SharePoint page based on hashtags?

Question

We're encouraging users to use hashtags to easily pull together posts on a given subject. I want to create an embedded feed on a SharePoint page that only shows posts using a specific hashtag, but this post says it is not possible: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/is-it-possible-to-embed-a-viva-engage-feed-on-a/104b3c89-1fc4-4bdf-9794-47b39cb75f31

For example, I am trying to filter by "#StrategicGrowth" and am able to filter by Topics with a StrategicGrowth option, but when I select it, it only finds one post from 2016 (see image) - why isn't it finding more recent posts that have the exact same hashtag?

The Microsoft agent said we could get a custom webpart (SPFx) and suggested we post here to get the help from the experts. Is this possible?

Hi @Rebecca O'Donnell,

Thank you for posting in this community.

Indeed, we cannot search a Viva Engage feed onto a Conversations web part based on hashtags. This is designed by Conversations web part.

You can use SPFx to create a new Conversations web part, but this requires you to know enough about Conversations web part and have some coding skills. You can refer to this article to start your custom web parts: Build your first SharePoint client-side web part.We are always looking for ways to improve SharePoint, and your feedback and suggestions are very valuable.

We suggest that you can make suggestions on this SharePoint Feedback portal for embedding a Viva Engage feed onto a SharePoint page based on hashtags. Your contribution will be highly appreciated.
