Question to Friendica folks:

I've recently followed Altbot@fuzzies.wtf, as I sometimes struggle with writing my own alts, and I can use the help then.

But the way Friendica works, I get so see *many* posts in my time line now, of folks I don't follow and I'm not interested in, because they used alt bot for their post.

I guess I can't ignore the account, because then I guess I would not see the alt text for my posts, should I need it...

Is there a way to set it so, that I will see the alt bot replies to me, but I won't zee all the posts that it comments on? I've even ignored one user that I didn't even know, because they were spamming the time line with the same kind of message over and over, while adding the same image over and over.... It drove me nuts!

So if there is a way that I can restrict seeing all the comments by Alt bot, please do let me know! 🌹

Alt texts on Friendica?

When I joined Fedi, first Masto and then Pixelfed, I've learned about the beauty of Alt texts. I'm not that good with them, and sometimes I use AI to help me with getting a decent enough text. But when I add an image here, I can't see where I can add the Alt text/image description.

I've been trying to just add it to the post, as Friendica offers a ton of space for text. But if friends that use screen readers would see my posts, is there a way to really add an Alt text to my images? Or should I just write it in the post, as I've been doing?

Thanks in advance for your help! 🌹

What does this mean?

I just shared a post from my phone, and next to the post there is a little time turner. Does this mean it's pending to be shared or?

Screenshot of my Friendica screen on my phone, with a circle around the little icon.

I shared a short post a little while ago, without images, and when I see that it has a little image that looks like a folded paper plane.

Screenshot from the Friendica app on my phone, showing the post with a circle around the icon.

As said, it's still new to me so this may be a silly question to those that have been using the platform longer. I was just curious to the meanings of the icons.

Thanks for your support! I hope to learn more of Friendica as I go along... 😊
