My question is whether there is an alternative protocol that @DangerousSafe could use to add the video that wouldn’t run into this issue.
I see ALT and GIF tags on videos in the mobile clients for Mastodon, DDG and even Safari on many videos. But this one doesn’t come up.
So, it makes me wonder what the difference is in the way the ALT text is embedded and whether there are any mobile clients where this works or if it’s exclusively available in desktop view.
I still can’t get it to come up either in the official Mastodon client app or in DDG as a browser view on mobile.
@DangerousSafe, I appreciate your good humour about this. I should have added my own Welcome! earlier in our exchanges. I’m personally hoping that we’ll see some Star Trek LEGO vids from you.
I still would like to suggest that if your AltText isn’t viewable on the highly used clients for mobile, then it might be best to find an alternative way to include it.
I’m genuinely curious if anyone is able to see the AltText with a mobile client, and if so, which one(s). This may be something that could/should be flagged to developers.
Perhaps now, or perhaps it’s the client. I watched it in the official app and it didn’t provide one.
I can’t see it in the inset in the browser view of your post either.
Perhaps @FediTips can help us sort this out.
An AltText description of your video would make many of us more open to boosting and extending your reach here.
