Yes, traction and followers are the point. These cartoons are pointless unless they’re seen and social media is the distribution system.

WordPress’ built in share does now post to Mastodon and Bluesky and posts only to the designated account of which for each there can be only one.

Manually sharing the post from the blog post itself, Masto through Ivory allows us to choose which account it goes to. A manual share to Bluesky through the app cannot toggle the account login. So we post to our personal account then share to where it should go at first.

At this point assuming the alt-text gets posted. Or does the alt-text only work on a click-through to the post?

At WordPress, the share to labels are the destination named account. Many share the same name. Many have distinguishing icons. The majority share the same generic swirl.

Which reminds us why we used Croissant. It recognizes multiple accounts.

We don’t necessarily want to drive folks back to the blog to view the image. Though if that happens the post can be separately shared by them just as easily. Insta doesn’t make sharing easy, f’rinstance. And getting things out of Facebook is a chore.

We were using NetNewsWire to pick up the RSS. Posts can be shared manually from that. We built an IOS Shortcut to pick up that feed item, parse and add relevant text then share manually to various from the clipboard. Croissant does the multiple posts. We could share post directly from the WordPress post itself. Does alt-text come through?
