Things I've learned about Mastodon this week:

1. Photo captions are read by screenreaders for people who have impaired vision. The more descriptive you make them, the more people can appreciate your post.

2. Hashtags should be "camel style" which means you capitalize each word in the tag - this enables screen readers to identify different words in the tag,

3. Reblogging boosts posts and favourites do not.

4. Hashtags are way more important here than on the birdsite.

@godlessmom The hashtags will take getting used to for me because I always considered them attention seeking rather than attention finding.
@scubaval Yeah it definitely feels spammy. It'll take some getting used to
@godlessmom this was my default on Twitter, made it easier to index my feed. I like it.
@scubaval @godlessmom Attention findind instead of attention seeking is a great way to put it!

I just looked at that again today & wondered if I said it right. You got it! Thanks for letting me know.
