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 I haven't figured out yet how to tell if the alt text is there? Using Mastodon on Android and I typed in the alt text on the picture I posted but I can't find it now.

@catecallahan @_RachelHandley Not sure for the official mastodon app, but hearing many folks on here recommend Tusky for Android over the official app convinced me to switch. On Tusky, the alt shows up at the bottom of every image.

Thanks @nyates314

Tusky was not working earlier but I have just managed to log in. Alt text now showing when viewing the image full screen.
