The core mastodon app on my phone looks more or less like the bird site. But the ecoevo app and also Chrome don't show how many boosts a post has had.

Any tips on how to customise to show number of boosts, or is this a deliberate design feature?

First image shows Chrome view, second image shows Mastodon app view.

Read a post on here from someone who needs the alt text on images to be able to engage with posts. I've found the instructions to add alt text and it's not exactly great UI so it's possible posters are missing it. Here's the article: https://edtechfactotum.com/adding-alt-text-and-more-to-images-in-mastodon/
You have to edit the image after selecting it.
