Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘✨:
If you find not many people Boost (repost) your toots (posts) with photos or memes, it could be because you did not use Alt-text 👁🗨
Adding Alt-text to your images will not only make them more accessible, it will also increase the chances that others Boost your toots!

Tiny Mastodon Tip for Newcomers 🐘✨: I’ve had many people asking me recently about Alt-text, so here what it is and how to use this feature: Alt-text is used to add a text description to an image you upload so that people who use a screen reader can know what your image is. HOW TO❓ 1. On desktop, when writing a toot (post), you can add an image by clicking on the paperclip icon on the bottom menu on the left. 2. Once your image is uploaded, click on “! No description added” over you image. 3. You will then see a popup allowing you to add a text description of your image. Try to be as clear as possible in your description. It’s okay if it’s short. 4. Click “Apply” and that’s it! You can then publish your toot normally. 5. You can follow @[email protected] to remind you to add alt-text in case you forget 👍✨ #TinyMastodonTip
