sue_twin2<p>A few things I’ve learnt since joining Mastodon World :mastodonworld: </p><p>✳️ Putting a link as the last item in a toot appears to enable a preview of it to appear</p><p>✳️ Always adding Alt Text to images is appreciated by those who use screen readers</p><p>✳️ Capitalising each word in a hashtag makes it easier to read for both people and screen readers</p><p>✳️ Listing hashtags after the toot rather than embedding them within makes it easier to read</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MastodonWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonWorld</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LinkPreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinkPreview</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ScreenReaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenReaders</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hashtags</span></a></p>
