Remember your rules

ID: Text in the style of the "the more you know" slogan which says "remember your roots". Under the text instead of a shooting star with a rainbow trail is a red brick with a sparkly progress flag as its trail
Well, I am calling it "abusing the post body" because it doesn't federate to all services. Captions (or as Lemmy calls them, alt text) does federate better as it was designed to use a more standard federation data type that Mastodon understands.
So, using the post body for captions actually kinda is harmful in the lens of Mastodon users, and other federated services that don't support Lemmy's post body.
however many Lemmy clients don't support alt text, but do support post bodys
That's true I would make feature request to those clients to add this very important functionality.
