If you're posting an image on here, please remember to add a text description for people who cannot see. Blind people use the internet through screen reader software which reads text out loud.

The level of detail needed depends on the image, but generally you should try to explain whatever is important and relevant in the picture.

If you forget a description, just edit the post and add it in afterwards! The bot @PleaseCaption can remind you if needed.

there's more: blind, and visually impaired, people also upload photos/pictures, but may not be able to add descriptions, so... maybe check out the peason's bio before you let loose the hounds of pointless nagging.

FediTips has moved!

@morpheo

Yes, indeed!

As noted at the link, there's a hashtag which is added by people who want to add a description but are unable to add one themselves.

There's a related tag which is where abled people add a description on disabled people's behalf.
