Have you posted a photo on Mastodon and the preview image hides something important?

If you're using the web version of Masto, you can alter the focus of the preview image when posting photos. Just click "Edit" on the image and move the circle around. When you've finished click "Apply".

(And while you're editing, do remember to add an image description for blind people!)

The two photos below are identical, but one has the focus set to the right and one to the left.

@feditips and if I primarily use Mastodon on mobile?

You can use the website through your mobile web browser, it has an automatic mobile mode where the buttons are laid out for a phone screen, including focus editing.

Hopefully the official app will get support for editing the focus too 🤞
