Request time! 🎉

Someone's asked me to remind people to set the image focus / crop centre tool when uploading images on Mastodon.

Although the Mastodon default web interface no longer crops images, some other apps and interfaces do, and images may be difficult to see on some timelines if the focus hasn't been set.

To set focus on Mastodon web interface:
1. Attach image
2. Click Edit
3. Choose focus point
4. Click Apply

Apps will have various interfaces for setting focus.

@feditips Neither the mobile app, nor Elk allows to set the focus

@feditips Mastoot is another app that doesn't allow you to set the focus. Alt text, yes, focus, no 😕

@feditips That's very useful to know, thank you - I didn't even realise we had the option to do that! It used to be very annoying on Twitter when it would decide for itself how to display things.

@feditips would it be any possible one day to just communicate here without being constantly pontificated about how we should do this?
