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.
undead enby of the apocalypse@enby_of_the_apocalypse @ocean @Sophoife This seems to really vary a lot. The folks who told me that people use a lot of hashtags here have also been here for a while. Maybe it depends on the culture of an instance and the topics folks want to discuss.
That said, at least on Mastodon it's easy to not pay attention to hashtags if someone doesn't want to see them. Twitter often put them in the feed, regardless.
