[tantek]4 what is a multiphoto
#
Loqi A multi-photo is like a photo post, except just with multiple adjacent photos, either in a series, or tiled / arranged in some layout https://indieweb.org/multiphoto

#
[tantek]4 I'm exploring the point of multiphoto vs collection vs article-with-a-bunch-of-photos posts and differences from an authoring, story-telling, and POSSE/distribution perspective
#
[tantek]4 one of my recent posting challenges is I was trying to do "everything" for a particular "post" all in one "post" and the various constraints of the "everything" were so many that it was making it too hard to make the post
#
[tantek]4 so I'm back to exploring what is the (conceptual, practical, personal, social) point of a multi-photo vs collection vs article-with-a-bunch-of-photos post

gRegor I've not done collection posts, but I usually use multi-photo when the photos are more important and text is secondary. Article with photos if the text is more important and photos are a nice add-on, like a post about travels
#
[tantek]4 this is a good reason to potentially do *two* posts instead of one
#
gRegor Usually only the multi-photo posts get syndicated to Instagram, though I have occasionally made a (single) photo post on Instagram to encourage people to check out an article.
#
[tantek]4 a multiphoto that's focused primarily on the photos, with minimal description/caption and maybe a "short story" that summarizes what's going on across the photos (not duplicating alt text obv)
#
gRegor I think I've only done the latter a couple times, and they weren't photo-heavy articles
#
[tantek]4 and yeah to syndicate to IG
#
[tantek]4 and then a longer article piece where you can tell a longer story, illustrated by the photos, that likely includes a lot more information that’s not in the photos
