Like this - <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/camelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#camelCase</a> The one with a capital for each word is called <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a>, though Pascal itself doesn't enforce this, it's a Pascal programmers' convention.

Delphine M.Question aux personnes concernées et/ou expertes en accessibilité numérique :Je me rappelle, il y a longtemps, que le camelCase (mettre une capitale à chaque nouveau mot) était bien mieux pour les hashtags. Cela facilitait la lecture, notamment avec les lecteurs d'écran. Est-ce toujours le cas ? Edit: Oui(Je découvre d'ailleurs sur Wikipedia que j'utilise surtout le "PascalCase" puisque je mets aussi une capitale au 1er mot.) <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/CamelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CamelCase</a> <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a> <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/Accessibilit%C3%A9Num%C3%A9rique" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AccessibilitéNumérique</a> <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/LecteurD%C3%89cran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LecteurDÉcran</a>

Shall we head there together?Camel case is the first letter of every word after the first capitalized. <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/camelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#camelCase</a>. The first letter of every word, including the first is Pascal case: <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a>.These are both terms of art in programming. Pascal case, in particular, comes from the Pascal programming language.Title case is different in that minor words aren’t capitalized, and is used in literature (sort of, certainly not programming) for titles and headlines:Netizens Discuss Capitalization in Pedantry Corner: Homo sapiens Mid-conversation ShareThe above title confioms to the Chicago Manual of Style (whose title also conforms) by not capitalizing 4 of 11 words.Now to make this useful: both camal case and Pascal case address the issue at hand; title case doesn’t, but the expression may be useful to communicate the idea of Pascal case to a general audience.References:<a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/design-guidelines/capitalization-conventions" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/design-guidelines/capitalization-conventions</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case</a>

diesUndDasMitTassen 🇺🇦<a href="https://ravenation.club/@Hippie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Hippie</a> ...nach einiger Recherche komme ich zu dem (immer noch unqualifizierzen) Schluss, daß <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a> für hashtags wohl besser ist. Es wird an verschiedenen Stellen argumentiert, daß der erste Buchstabe groß geschrieben für alle besser zu lesen ist. Und international scheint sich das bei latainischer Schrift durchzusetzen.Durch Deinen trööt habe ich gerade gelernt, daß camelCase auch lowerCamelCase genannt wird und PascalCase auch UpperCamelCase - aaahhh 😵‍💫😂<a href="https://fnordon.de/@OskarImKeller" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@OskarImKeller</a> <a href="https://mastodon.wurzelmann.at/@wurzelmann" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@wurzelmann</a>

diesUndDasMitTassen 🇺🇦<a href="https://ravenation.club/@Hippie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Hippie</a> Das klingt jetzt vielleicht zunächst etwas kleinlich, aber wenn auch der erste Buchstabe immer ein Großbuchstabe wäre, nennt man es <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a> (oder UpperCamelCase) bei <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/camelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#camelCase</a> (eigentlich LowerCamelCase) hingegen ist der erste Buchstabe immer klein. Finde ich wichtig, wenn man einen "Styleguide" verabschieden würde, schon bei der Definition präzise zu sein. Sonst ist das Ergebnis nachher uneinheitlich. <a href="https://fnordon.de/@OskarImKeller" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@OskarImKeller</a> <a href="https://mastodon.wurzelmann.at/@wurzelmann" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@wurzelmann</a>

barefootstache<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TIL</a> that <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/SnakeCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SnakeCase</a> is a less frequently used tagging scheme on the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>. This could be due to that some services break their internal tagging schema, e.g. <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Minds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Minds</a> doesn't work well with <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/KebabCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KebabCase</a>. Or it could be due to the laziness of the users and subjectively arguing that <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/snake_case" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#snake_case</a> doesn't add to the readability of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a> or <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/camelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#camelCase</a> tags. In return the argument is that snake_case can add value if the tag has a not obvious word break, especially if the tag is completely written in lowercase or UPPERCASE. Or if the the underscore replaces a different character other than space like slash, pipe, hyphen, etc. And in AReallyLongTag / a_really_long_tag it could aid readability.Thus if one wants grouping and discoverability of posts while creating a brand identity consider using snake_case tags.<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#friendica</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pixelfed</a>

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.<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CamelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CamelCase</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#a11y</a>

Zivan - Childless Cat GuyHow not using pascal case or camel case can ruin your brand. Because Bluesky is not written with a capital S, my screen reader pronounces it as Blueski. So it sounds like some Russian website. Remember to capitalize combined words in cases where spaces are not allowed, like in HashTags, so screen reader users won't get confused. <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ScreenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScreenReader</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PascalCase</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/camelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#camelCase</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blind</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/LowVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LowVision</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueSky</a>
