Corporate social networks are trying to kill the hashtag because they want users to only discover things through corporate algorithms 😩
Mastodon and the wider Fediverse love the hashtag as it allows humans to retain control of their feeds 🥰
You can use hashtags to label a post with its main topics. More info about adding hashtags at https://fedi.tips/what-are-hashtags-how-do-i-use-them-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

@FediTips@growyourown.services UpperCamelCase is also a thing apparently https://doc.rust-lang.org/style-guide/advice.html#names
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services "Corporate social networks are trying to kill the hashtag" ? Really? 😥
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services #HellYes
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thanks for this informative post. It never occurred to me to use CamelCase for people with screen readers.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services yes!
Regarding your final point in the piece about PascalCase hashtags:

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services You can have featured hashtags here on your profile, but if you want to get a bit more creative with it and have more than 5, you can use an external service like linktree and do something like i've done with them for any topic you'd like to make discoverable in that way.

Aaaaand almost as important for your mental well-being: You can very well mute hashtags! 😇

Well, there's things like Instagram removing support for following hashtags even though it would be really easy to keep supporting them.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services wow.
@weinhold@ieji.de
True! 👍
For anyone wondering how to do this, there's a guide to using filters at https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services wow.
@weinhold@ieji.de @FediTips@social.growyourown.services is there a similar way to hiding hashtags on Friendica?
@jayfell@social.trom.tf
I'm not sure... 🤔
If there is, I think it would be in the add-ons section?
