As #mastodon grew this week I noticed more photos being posted without a description of the photo.

Please include it! Part of the reason I joined is because this placed seemed more accessible.

What I'm trying to say is I want to boost your cat photos, but I can't in good conscience do so unless those photos are accessible.

@_RachelHandley - One thing that got me was when I first tried to do this, which I note in case someone else has the same issue. In the iPad OS Mastadon app, it’s quite tricky to select, and there’s no feedback to say you’ve successfully selected the text field. In the end, I typed and hoped, and it worked.

@feorag @_RachelHandley Yes, same for me. It’s much easier/clearer how to add in the web browser. That seems like an easy fix to the iOS app—the placeholder text could be set to disappear when you click in the field, etc.
