For those unaware, not only are #posts from people #NewHere who add #Hashtags like this in the bod of posts, #annoying for everyone... they make it REALLY HARD for people with screen readers (since most reading technologies will read the hashtags out loud).
Put your hashtags at the end of the post, and use CamelCase to make life easier for everybody.
This might be something for a future Mastodon update, actually. The way Tumblr creates a space for hashtags at the bottom of posts could be a handy feature to adopt here, for instance.
@indubitablyodin Wait, screen readers haven't figured out how to read inline hashtags yet?
I agree with the camel case suggestion, but I struggle to believe that they don't support a feature of the net that even my grandma knows about.
@LouisIngenthron It's a consistent issue I've encountered when speaking to people with visual disabilities, and, from what I understand, the issue's relatively complex. There may be people out there who can better explain why than I can, as well as suggest resources to help.
