· Föderation EN Fr 24.01.2025 20:58:04 Please DO capitalize the words within a hashtag. camelCase and PascalCase are two very similar norms that allow words to be joined without hyphenation but distinguished by readers through capitalization of the first letters of words. The difference is that Pascal Case requires the first letter of the first word to be capitalized but camel Case just insists on the following words. The two terms are often referred to without distinction here though. Be aware that Mastodon autocomplete will offer up the first version created for a hashtag. So, it’s important to be careful to make sure a hashtag that you type isn’t autocompleted to a version without capitals. |

Föderation EN Fr 24.01.2025 23:38:38 Yes, it’s an issue. We’ve asked for the menu of hashtags that pops up be updated to show the CamelCase alternatives in the listing. This seems to be happening now. Once a CamelCase version of the hashtag is created, it will be listed. But the original version with no capitalization will still be listed first. |

Föderation EN Fr 24.01.2025 23:45:12 @AlsoPaisleyCat @skua @jcsteh @joachim @juliette If you type a CamelCase version of a hashtag in full, it will preserve the CamelCase capitalisation, even if the suggestion isn't CamelCase. It will only ignore the CamelCase if you don't type the hashtag in full, and pick a suggestion instead. The auto-suggestions are based on what was first typed on that server. It's difficult to have suggestions automated as CamelCase because the same string can split many ways (#SuperBowl and #SuperbOwl). |
