Mastodon has adopted a lot of features designed for accessibility and/or mental health prevention, please make use of them.

That includes using the "Content Warning" field a lot for anything that could be sensitive, spoiler-y, or just to give a "topic" to your message.

Please write picture descriptions! They're used by screen readers but also in case the image fail to load for any reason.

PSA for new users!

If you've come here to build a community/following around your creations, there are two things that will hugely help your work get seen:

1) Hashtags. People use them here. The most common for art are #MastoArt #CreativeToots #fediart .

2) Image descriptions. It's increasingly common that people won't boost (retweet) media that doesn't have an image description. It's also just generally nice and good practice in terms of accessibility.
