Please do use ALT text. I see people talk about not getting engagement on bluesky like they did on twitter. People will engage images you share if you provide ALT text to make them more accessible. Some on bluesky even won't engage your post with no ALT text. @knilirabaj.bsky.social - ThreadSky

There's even an option in the settings to make you do it or you can't post it! Really helpful!

WHY DOES THIS NOT DEFAULT TO "ON"!?!?!?

simplesarahbear.bsky.social•22 days ago

Good question!!

May I piggyback and ask for subtitles on videos? Please

And it's because we literally can't. At least on other sites there's something we can navigate to that shows us there's a photo, and then we can use our AI to describe it. On Bluesky it just looks totally empty, I wouldn't even know if a photo was attached to the post

Make sure to turn on the setting to require alt text before posting 💫💫💫

Thanks! Testing

I'm not great with using alt text but I'll definitely try harder

There's a setting to use but it doesn't stop you completely, I screwed up earlier this week. It's under settings : accessibility

colin99.bsky.social•22 days ago

Thanks. I'll try to find that

It's part of Bluesky. Do it or don't post images.

I collect original and signed Art, and now for my eldest, as well.
I won't even follow Artists that don't Alt their work.

I don’t repost without alt text
