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?

@feditips @WizardOfDocs I’ve been using Metatext for iOS lately and it has this feature; I don’t know what’s available for Android aside from the web browser.

@gannet @feditips @WizardOfDocs I switch between Mastodon app, Metatext and Toots! I do love Metatext for these features.

@moonlightsiesta @gannet @feditips okay, but what about Android?

@feditips @WizardOfDocs @gannet not sure what functionality Tusk has but that one seems to come up a lot as preferred.

Tusky and FediLab are both good on Android, they've been around for a lot longer than the official app and have more features.
