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 camel casing ftw! My favourite instance of this confusing people was after Margaret Thatcher died there was a hashtag nowthatchersdead, some people read it as Now That Cher's Dead vs Now Thatcher's Dead and yeah. Poor Cher had to reassure people she was still alive.
@ryan_noakes I also remember people misreading hashtag SusanAlbumParty, (to promote singer Susan Boyle's new album)
