Thank you for claritying. I am trying to learn as much about accessibility as possible, and I guess I need to read up more on alternative text.

At least I know I should use #CamelCase for hashtags.

Pour les hashtags, il vaut mieux utiliser le CamelCase ou les underscore pour distinguer les mots en terme d'accessibilité ?

Par exemple, UnionEuropéenne ou Union_Européenne ?

#hashtag #CamelCase #Underscore #accessibilité #accessibility #a11y

@hpod16 as an accessibility tip, for hashtags with compound words is recommended to use Camel Case, meaning the first letter of each word is in capital letters. E.g. #CamelCase and not camelcase. Makes it easy to read and works better with screen readers.

If you start typing, most times you'll get the not-camel case suggestion, but you can change it.

@FediTips I have a question! You mention that there's a distinction between camel case and pascal case in programming, but that on social media we really don't need to be this granular (I agree).

My question is: suppose I've got hardwired muscle memory to use #camelCase with a lowercase first word. Are screen readers going to mess up if I do that on accident? Does it matter? Does #camelCase and #CamelCase read different?

Thx.

@historyofpunkrock Make sure to use #CamelCase with all hashtags 🙏

I actually didn't know that you are supposed to use #CamelCase on hashtags...

Re: Mastodon and CamelCase

Hi Elena,
I've been reading a lot of your content and really appreciate all of the work you are doing to advocate for the #Fediverse.

You have also promoted healthy Fediverse cultural norms, like aiding #accessibility.

In that vein, I would like to ask you to lend your voice to an issue that affects visually impaired people.

You have mentioned #CamelCase, which many are using along with #AltText. However, the official #Mastodon client as well as web Mastodon makes it more difficult to use CamelCase, because they often auto-"correct" the CamelCase to simply lower case. One has to be aware of putting space after the typed #hashtag, or else Mastodon changes it to all lower case.

There are a number of bug reports about this in Github (with various scenarios), so it is a known issue.

If you could look into it and then speak up about it, perhaps the issue would get some priority.

Thanks for all that you do.

@Casey @louis @pj camel case in the hashtags por favor for the disabled folks. We have a pretty healthy respect for making this an inclusive space so keep that vibe going. #CamelCase #SearchEngine #forkiverse

"Digitalin" could easily be the name of a substance you can get addicted to.

That's why #CamelCase is important.

I am trying my best to have all of my #Hashtags readable by #ScreenReader. Friendica sometimes has issues with the database and even when #CamelCase is used in the posting, in the summary it's displayed without CamelCase.

Can someone confirm, that the summary doesn't make a difference and the correct use of CamelCase in the posting is superior and working for ScreenReaders?

#Inclusion

I just noticed I am close to 1000 followers. I never broke 1000 on any the corporate owned platforms which I have long left. If you like caves, nature, and occasional adorable dog photos, mind helping me break 1000 followers for the first time ever? I'm a scientist who studies critters who live in caves, and also train dogs, because just one job in this economy? 😂

I am also vehemently against GenAI and will post ideas for getting off of / decreasing reliance on iNaturalist (who has gotten in bed with Google GenAI). Occasional other science communication type posts as well, and happy to answer questions! I always alt text and camel case because I believe in accessibility.

ETA: I do occasionally post "creepy crawly" photos, but I use hashtags so if you don't want to see a cave spider or such, I am easy to filter. I understand that some people just want to see cool passages and formations, and wish to skip the invertebrates. (Filter recommendations: "spider" and "invertebrate" which I use as a catch-all for more leggy critters you may not know the names for.)

Immer wieder lese ich Beiträge aus dem Anfängerbereich des Java-Forums und muss feststellen, dass die Grundlagen der Java Konventionen nicht eingehalten werden. Die meisten kommen vielleicht aus anderen Programmiersprachen oder fangen ganz neu mit Java an was die großen Wissensdefizite erklärt.

Auto-completion of #CamelCase is working again.🤘

a) tell me what's wrong with this alt text
b) tell me why it's funny, but also worse for it

Welcome to the Fediverse! 👋 This is your home now, and we're all about high-VIBE (Knowledge + Love).

If you’re new to Mastodon, remember the rules are friendlier, but different!

Think of it like a bunch of connected treehouses—we help each other find the good stuff. 🌳

Fedi Field Guide: Quick Start (1/3)
---

1️⃣ Make Posts Discoverable: Hashtags are the only way folks can find your amazing posts here. Use 3-5 good, relevant tags. That's the sweet spot!

2️⃣ Use #CamelCase: This is critical! It means capitalizing the first letter of each word in your tag (like #FunTimes).

Why? Because it makes tags readable for everyone, especially those using screen readers. Accessibility is a core part of the Love VIBE. ❤️

29. Cantankerous?

The year's almost over. Where did November go? And the world? Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! 😱
Cantankerous is too mild.
Infuriated is what I am.

(What makes me cantankerous is that new #Mastodon behaviour that randomly messes the #CamelCase hashtags up.)

#ScribesAndMakers

I have an issue with #HashTags since a couple of days. Normally, when you start typing, you get matching examples. I use #CamelCase for my Hashtags, but when i select one of the examples - that are also in CamelCase - the result is the hashtag without camelcase. f.e. #RandomMusickMayhem is converted into #randommusickmayhem. For the moment i have to type the hashtag manually to retain the CamelCase.
Anyone else having this issue?

Since I'm having difficulties, and had them in the past as well, with #OBS crashing when changing Profile or Scene, have created a #Bash script to change these values manually by editing the `user.ini` file.
You shoot `fura-OBS-selector.sh` and select your Profile and Scene.
Remember that currently, names of the files must be without spaces or symbols, included hyphens!
I'm using the flatpak version of OBS, customize your paths accordingly :)

Also, feel free to send pull requests ^^
