What I was wanting to do on the day before the event is to take place was to add a 'temporary, one day' hashtag to the event post along with its 'forever' hashtag to alert the membership that the event was about to take place 'TOMORROW'. I was hoping the one day hashtag would expire and leave the origninal post and its forever hashtag in place.
Then on the next day (i.e., the day of the event) that 'one day' hashtag would expire (leaving the event post and its hashtag in place) and I would add another 'one day' hashtag alerting members that the event 'IS TODAY'. Then that 2nd hashtag would disappear the following day again leaving the original event post and its 'forever' hashtag in place as a reminder.
Ah, I see.?
The topic duration associated with a hashtag isn't really optimal in this application when coupled with a simple message to the group. I hope you will consider using groups.io's existing calendaring functions instead. If you set up the #cal-invite tag to never expire and the #cal-reminder hashtag to expire after some appropriate interval that should provide the functionality you want.
Hope this helps,
