If you are posting an image, video or audio on here, remember to add an alt text description if you can. This helps blind or deaf people access your post, and it also helps your post be much more widely shared.
Many people on here only boost posts that include a description. If you want your post to be boosted, add a description if you are able.
(If you are unable to add a description, you can include the hashtag #Alt4me which asks people to reply with a description.)
It's usually best to have the same language you used in the post.
I usually skip posts that do not include a description and the URL is not self-descriptive.
Sometimes I will check them out if I am confident that the poster would not normally link to junk.
But, I detinitely prefer a description.
For example, I tend to never check youtube links unless there is a description. It may be interesting, but I may not want to spend the time watching a possibly long video at the moment.
Yes, it does! 👍

Je le fais régulièrement.
I do this on a regular basis.
Le problème, c'est quand on veut booster une image, ou un article, qui n'a pas mis d'ALT dans son ou ses images !
The problem is when you want to boost an image, or an article, that hasn't put an ALT in its images!
J'ai eu le cas récemment (le chaton sur un pouf orange) : j'ai du copier l'image sur mon disque, et faire un article AVEC le ALT !
I had this happen to me recently (the kitten on an orange pouffe): I had to copy the image onto my disk, and make an article WITH the ALT!
