Okay, I just wrote what I call fedimemer, a program that allows me to reply to other posts (or just post on its own) with memes, alt text is already set, and I can add optional comments.
All I have to do now, is gather up a collection of memes.
This seems more efficient than searching for, downloading, and posting a meme manually. I usually don't remember to add alt text, and I never keep the files in a sane, easily searchable place.
Now, I just run 'fedimemer -l' and find the one from the list that I want!
Like any good techy, I can work really hard to be lazy!

@nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe storing alt-text with variables in the metadata might be possible, that and some imagemagik one-liners to make alt-texted memes on the fly. Interesting ideas

@nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe if only mastodon could use metadata to populate alt text ... I smell a GitHub issue coming on
