I just added a note on Phanpy. I really like how prominent the image description field is when you upload an image, and I am guessing this contributes to the notably high use of alt text.
@stefan@cheeaun I really love that you can click on the image to get an even bigger modal with full (?) size image. Great to transcribe text. Also love the warnings when boosting posts w/o alt. 😍
Something that I myself missed when I opened the original ticket is that alt text really should be on the same level of importance as the content of the post itself.
@stefan nice!
How difficult would it be to include the date when the person who posted joined and compute the average "Mastodon age" associated to the groups using each app?
I wonder if there couldn't be a strong confounding factor, namely that early adopters may have used other apps (as the official app was not yet available) and have different practices.
Thus, using something other that the web app or the official app could be strongly correlated with how "old" your presence on Mastodon is.
Yes, that is an interesting thought! The Status object Mastodon returns does actually contain an object describing the author of the post, including the "created_at" field.
I included the official Mastodon clienst (web + mobile apps), and the most prominent clients that I recognized, most of which are also in high use based on the total post count.
@stefan it would have been interesting to know the number of posts analyzed. Because if there is 60% of 500 posts VS 40% of 8000 posts, it is still a good score I guess ? 🤔
