crosshatching

The action of using a bunch of hashtags on Instagram posts to attract likes and followers.

Person 1: Such a fun day #nofilter #fun #day #flatlay #picoftheday #sun #sunnyday #goodday #dayoff #happy #squadgoals #friends #like #instalike #happy #amazing #love #instagood #summer #smile #follow #followme #followmepleaseimbeggingyou #like4like

Person 2: Quit crosshatching, you're embarrassing yourself and all it gets you are likes from bots.

Person 1: A like is a like -- you know they function as fiat currency, right?

crosshatch

A form of shading in ink or pencil drawing\sketches, where one creates shadow or the suggestion of colour by drawing lines diagonally in one direction, and then cross-hatching them with similar diagonal lines passing in the other direction.

The more lines you do the darker the shading becomes.

Of course, I just clicked this link off the home page. It could have a whole other slang meaning I don't know.
