@martind Opposite. Pascal case is #LikeThis. Camel case has the first character lowercase.

I keep seeing people emphasise the benefits of writing hashtags #LikeThis with capitalised words. Although it keeps being referred to as camel case, instead of pascal case. And I want to let them know, but it also seems pretty rude. 🙃

So many new faces on the timeline! Here are some tips about Mastodon:

- Set your replies to unlisted visibility, it’ll keep them from filling up public timelines

-Add alt text to images: a description and any text visible

- Use hashtags and use camel case for screen readers #LikeThis

- It’s common for trans people to spend a lot of time imagining living as the opposite gender when closeted. In general, cis people don’t do this.

- Be kind!

To all the new folks: Welcome!

If you are adding #hashtags to your toots, and the hashtag has multiple words, be sure to capitalize each word #LikeThis. This supports our fellow Mastodonners that use #ScreenReaders. Also, be sure to add alt-text to any images you share.

Continue to #BeExcellentToEachOther! ❤️

Local is for the instance ( instance / and the people you follow),

Home is for the ppl you follow and your DMs will show there too.

Federated is everything, everywhere, all at once (firehose, chaos, hard to read, interesting to watch).

Boost means you want to share content to your followers.

Favorites do not automatically boost the message, and generally exist to show the author that you appreciate what they've written.

You can add .rss to a person's profile, or to a hashtag, and generate a feed. However, lists can only include people that you follow. I've given up on lists, and use RSS for custom follows.

Hashtags are how you find things, there is no algorithm on here. So add hashtags to everything when it makes sense. Don't over do it though.

Full-text searching is a thing, but it doesn't always get you the results you need. Hashtags do.

Try and remember to use capital letters - #LikeThis - for each word in the hashtag. It helps screen readers.

Add images whenever you like, try and remember to add alt text to them, so everyone can experience them.

You can edit posts.

You can use content warnings to censor posts. Some people will demand that you do this, the choice is yours though.

You can mute certain words.

People can also bypass those muted words with v@riations of w*rds.

There are lots of groups, and shared interests. Use hashtags to find them.

Mastodon is what you make of it. Have fun, explore.

@mrcompletely thanks - I’m not in the habit but will try… #likethis

If you're taking part in #Caturday, please use Camel Case - Where the first letter of each word is capitalised #LikeThis - so that visually impaired users are included.

Am I too much of a nerd if I support capitalizing multiword hashtags to make them easier for screen readers for the blind to understand them, but insist on keeping the first word lowercase JavaScript-style?

@rey it taurs had a hashtag would it be #LikeThis or #likeThis

Hi, welcome to Mastodon! A thing you might not know is that screen readers that vision impaired people use to read mastodon can’t read hashtags unless you capitalize each word. #LikeThis

@pixelnull Because it's often used to dogpile and harass people. The best way to make your tweets searchable is to use relevant #hashtags. And for good measure, if you use a hashtag with multiple words, capitalize each word #LikeThis so that screen readers can distinguish them as individual words. #feditips
