I believe this also affects filtered tags/tag muffling. I have a specific tag I wanted to mute and I noted it appeared in the tag search with different capitalization, and I was able to add both versions.
I feel like the other place where this ends up being a problem is trying to link to tags (e.g., when you want to direct people to a tag without polluting it with a 'meta' post)
This is pretty bad especially because, for reasons I don't understand, my web browser is *not letting me* view some page capitalization variants.
On Chrome, if I enter this into the address bar:
https://cohost.org/mcc/tagged/mastodon
and hit return, Chrome silently and instantly on hitting return rewrites the URL to https://cohost.org/mcc/tagged/Mastodon
I don't understand why, maybe it's some cache thing. If I view in another profile/incognito, it does not do that.
This means I literally can't view https://cohost.org/mcc/tagged/mastodon (with lowercase) except by viewing from an another tab.

For any tag on Cohost there is only one Canonical Capitalisation but each possible variation has its own (empty) tag page. e.g. https://cohost.org/rc/tagged/abba has results but https://cohost.org/rc/tagged/ABBA does not. This comes up most when searching users pages for tags, which currently has to be done by hand, but it would be handy anyway. Not sure if this should be a feature request.
