TamDid you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.
oshy@Tam5 Yee, that kinda thing is hard on people with screenreaders and it's also just generally not a great feature for readability
Personally I just recommend not using Hashtags

Sophoife@ocean @Tam5 That's an interesting point of view for someone using Mastodon, as searches only work with #Hashtags not with general terms, apparently.
Some of us migrants have been doing our best to use #CamelCase even on the bird app, and to use alt text for images too.
@Tam5 @ocean Oh that makes a lot of sense. All the newbie guides I've seen have suggested #CamelCase and hashtags, but I know from IRC back in the day that users of anything tend to find their comfy place and comfy way of things and then (certainly in my case) get surprised when they find out not everyone does it how they do. I was part of a group that was horrified when it discovered there were peeps on IRC who were not always kind or polite. Ah the innocent days...
