Guide title
Posting your own art on Mastodon: what the user docs say about images, descriptions, visibility, profile art
Coverage
For illustrators and designers who want to post their own art on Mastodon. It collects what three user-documentation pages say about image attachments, media descriptions, visibility settings, content warnings and avatar and header images. It follows the documentation only; nothing was posted or tested, and servers may differ.
Useful starting points
- Followers-only posts only keep older posts private if automatic acceptance of new followers is turned off.
- Privacy is chosen per post, and the documentation says earlier public posts cannot be made private afterwards.
- Adding a content warning also marks attached media as sensitive, which hides it behind a blurred thumbnail.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
