With so many great Mastodon intro guides out there, is there one that is the best?

Well... now there is!

@Em0nM4stodon 's guide is pretty much perfect. If you could only have one guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse, this is it.

Control Alt Delete Blog: The Mastodon’s Guide to the Fediverse >>> https://controlaltdelete.technology/articles/the-mastodons-guide-to-the-fediverse.html

Clean, concise, comprehensive and beautifully produced. Just great work!

I disagree, this is clearly not the best guide.

There's a huge section on images and not even an external link to how to do alt-text, let alone mentioning the "friction" you will, rightly, encounter by posting lots of images without alt-text.

The Mastodon desktop client will do the bulk, if not all the alt-text for you.

"Post images like a pro" indeed.

You may be confusing the guide referenced in the post:

Control Alt Delete Blog: The Mastodon’s Guide to the Fediverse >>> https://controlaltdelete.technology/articles/the-mastodons-guide-to-the-fediverse.html

...with the Mastodon Migration omnibus linked at the bottom:

The later is certainly not a great guide, more of a reference, but you're right alt-text should be mentioned, even if it is not the subject of the image posting bit.

Oh yes, it's the Mastodon migration omnibus which doesn't talk about it.
