Tip for newbies: filling in the text description for pics posted is, I have learned, really appreciated. There’s a sizeable community of the visually impaired over here and doing it means they’re not excluded. Also, it’s fun to do. If you’re on your phone, tap on the pic and start typing. (I didn’t realise I could go that) On the desktop app you’re given a prompt. It’s super easy.
@EmmaKennedy In addition, people can follow @PleaseCaption (and let the bot follow them back) to get a reminder if they post an image without description

I've found this to be a useful reminder if you are using an App such as Tusky...
