I really enjoy the memes you post, but I can't boost them without descriptive #alttext
if you're unable/unwilling, you might consider using the #alt4me tag which will invite other users to help you compose the copy.
what the fuck's a hashtag
Hi, I’m posting from the threadiverse on PieFed, so I’m not sure if the tag would help.
Due to the volume I’m post, it would add a lot of workload and time spent when I’m trying to find ways to reduce my time.
I’ve got a lot of posts in queue at the moment, but going forward I’ll try to work out something to get alt-text on them.
Three pictures first: a dystopian tangle of highways labelled "fossil fuel vehicles" second: a dystopian tangle of highways labelled "electric vehicles" third: an idyllic walkavble city labelled "walking biking and public transit".
That took me literally a minute.
Cool so an extra half an hour for this sub alone per day. Considering each post is already a few minutes work to set time fields, find image, and make up a title it all adds up to me not wanting to spend more time than I have too.
I don't think Lemmy or Piefed support hashtags. Personally, I often just do it anyway. See a post without transcription, transcribe it.
Better if OPs do it themselves, but volunteers taking on the effort without need to request permission/be told to do it is second best.
PieFed does support it, not sure if it shows up on Masto though.
Hmm, actually it doesn't look like it does work. In fact, it may be worse than Lemmy. I can see @saltywizard@beige.party's hashtags (as actual hashtags) in Lemmy, but not here on Piefed.
But I can't see my own hashtags in either platform.
edit: wait, looks like both Lemmy and Piefed may work. I can see saltywizard's hashtags as tags on the default Piefed UI, but not in Blorp, which is my preferred Piefed client.
Blorp dev here. I'm not sure I understand hashtags well enough to implement them yet. From what I can tell, @saltywizard@beige.party either manually linked the hashtag to Mastadon, or more likely, whatever client they used inserted the link when they types the hashtag.
To demonstrate my point:
In Blorp, 1 is clickable for me, but 2 isn't. Depending on what client you're using, 2 may get auto linked.
Piefed tags appear as Mastodon hashtags, however they may be different, eg Mastodon removes spaces
Oh neat! #cool
Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic does the walkable city simulator game really well. If you have enough walking paths, and mass transit, the only things using your roads are the work trucks, fire trucks, and police horses (because fuck the virtual police as well)
Looks like there's plenty of places for those bats to roost
