Here is a list and explanations - might need updates. https://dataconomy.com/2022/11/best-mastodon-server-list-and-how-to-change/ #MastodonTips #Servers #NewbieGuide

#NewbieGuide 2) Image descriptions

In the web app, when you upload an image it gives you an Edit button in the top right of the image. Click on that and you get a place to describe the image. You can also move the "centre" of the image. And if it's sensitive you can tick a box to hide it by default.

Once it's posted, users in the web app can hover over the image to see the text.

If you're using a different app, please reply with which app you're using and how it looks to you!

It occurs to me that, because every app is a bit different, it would be useful to crowdsource instructions for common Mastodon functions on the different apps.

I'll start a new thread for each one and use the hashtag #NewbieGuide - comment here if there's a particular function you'd like explained!
