and anyone else who might see this.

is it possible to include more than one picture in a toot?

coming up in a couple days will be a situation where I’d like to include two pictures. I’ve found that a threaded multi-toot is sketchy at best.

@EDVARDS

oh yeah. not sure of the process though. I’m usually here via my iPad Air. is it as simple as drag and drop?

@howlinhobbit
I don't know Apple products or the APP you may be using.

There should be a paperclip button that you click to add a pic. Then, edit pic, add AltText

Lather, rinse, repeat

@EDVARDS

apparently Metatext don’t play dat. what app do you use?

@howlinhobbit @EDVARDS

Metatext is unfortunately no longer being maintained, as the developer ran into health problems and had to take a break.

I would strongly suggest moving to a different app such as Ice Cubes, Toot!, Mona, Ivory or the official app.

@EDVARDS @feditips

thanks for your help, but none of them worked even as well as Metatext. the official app said, “that username is already taken.” several wouldn’t let me post anything after logging in, and one wanted lots of money on a subscription basis. I wouldn’t object to passing on some bucks now and then, but I’m a musician living in a musical wasteland. I don’t make much money.

maybe I’ll just blog it on my Ko-Fi page and post that link.

FediTips has moved!

@howlinhobbit @EDVARDS

Ice Cubes, Mona and the official app are free.

If it said the username is taken, it sounds like you might have clicked on the option to sign up for a new account, rather than sign in with your existing account? Normally both options are shown when you first use the app.
