Heads-up to all posting images: including ALT text will help your posts show up in relevant feeds even without using hashtags. Thanks to @bergsbites.bsky.social for letting me know AND for all the hard work!
Btw, your post will show up in our feed without using the hashtag, as long as the term fountain pen is either in the post or in the alt-text. I made the update to include alt-text a few weeks ago :)
