Before you post
What makes a good Mastodon post
Mastodon works a little differently from other networks. These habits help your posts land.
📏 500 characters
Most servers give you 500 characters per post. Need more room? Reply to yourself to build a thread.
🖼️ Alt text
Mastodon users expect image descriptions. Add alt text to every image so everyone can enjoy your post.
⚠️ Content warnings
