I note that this group also has a list of top 10 hashtags listed at /g/GroupManagersForum, although it isn't clear to me how this list came about

The list is automatically created by the site as hashtags are used/created.

It's not as clear cut as you might like, but you can actually see how many times each hashtag has been used.? As an example, go to the GMF home page, scroll down to the hashtag section, then click on See All.? That should take you to the list of hashtags available on the group.? For the next step, I find it easier to use the List View, though you can see the same information in the Gallery View.? Next to each hashtag, you'll see a number for how many topics use that tag, so you could make a list, say in a spreadsheet, that you could sort on this number.? You may also see some that have the NO symbol (slashed circle) that means it's not available to regular members, only admins.? In the GMF list, there are a couple that have aliases (hashtag, right arrow, hashtags is an example) where any topics that used #hashtag have been changed to #hashtags.? See the manual, then click on the Alias link.? You might want to use something like this to limit the number of hashtags on your group.

Another option would be to Export only the hashtags of your group (must be an admin).? This will be a zip file that contains the hashtag info in json format.? One of the entries for each is "topic_count".? You'd need to write a small program to read/sort that data.? It does include the alias info, but I haven't quite figured out how it's stored.
