       I'm going to continue to remind folks to add alt-text that is descriptive text to their art,photos, graphics. It really does not have to be much in fact too much description is worse. I'll let the experts fill in what is good but for now just add *something*. Many of us choose not to boost posts with graphics with no descriptions.How to Add Alt Text to Photos:It depends slightly on the platform you use, but when you're composing a post and go to attach an image, you'll see a small line superimposed on the bottomof the image that says: "No description added."You can then click on that message to add a description of the image thatexplains what's in it. Doing so benefits blind people using screen readers. If you don't add an alt-text expect fewer boosts!#Mastodon #Introduction
