       Please remember to add text descriptions to images, audio and video posts, to make them accessible to blind and deaf users.You can add descriptions to an attachment by clicking "Edit" on the website, or by typing directly on top of the attachment on the official app.Describe both visuals and audio (if present).Also, use CamelCase on hashtags (where the first letter of every word is capitalised). This allows screen readers to say each word aloud correctly.See also: https://fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediverse-accessibility-tips/

       @feditips thanks for the tip. Another question, roughly how many seconds of video can I upload. On twitter it's capped at two minutes twenty seconds - does Mastodon have an equivalent cap?

       @MrEFinch The only cap is file size, so in theory it can be any length as long as the quality is low enough to fit within the limit.The limit is 40 megabytes by default, but I think servers can change that if they want?More info at: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#WhatCanIAttachToAPost

       @MrEFinch @feditips @stux Mastodon has a public API where you can check their maximum size. https://mstdn.social/api/v1/instanceCan you see the video_size_limit and the supported formats enumerated?

       @feditips I’m having trouble posting any images. They take a while to load and then the “publish” button remains grey so I can’t share them.

       @JanousekWild Sorry to hear :/I think that's just due to the sheer load of new people right now. I saw the admin of your server (https://mastodon.social) saying they've ordered upgraded hardware so it should get better when that is set up.

       @feditips I'm sighted and hearing, and still I rely on image (and other media) descriptions a lot: - When it's about a topic I know little about, it helps me understand- When it's a joke, it helps me get it- When the internet or server is slow, I can still understand- When multiple things are in the picture, it helps me understand what the focus is on-When it's audio and I'm in a place I can't listen (like on the train with no headphones), I can still understand
