Good suggestion about Alt-text, will include that in future. Is it ok if I just copy the article authors and titles?

okay then! 😂😅

Giving each paper its own post is a lot of work. Please do not forget that the editors work on a voluntary basis. Also, I have a feeling this would fragment things too much.

True, but my first post there (under Johan Rooryck) has garndered 470 views in 3 days... Perhaps I will simply add positing on LinkedIn to the repertoire.

It is unclear to me how much traction Glossa: a journal of general linguistics is getting on BlueSky. I am thinking of switching communication about new papers to LinkedIn, which gives better insight into the # of views garnered. Give us a like if you want Glossa to stay on the Blue side of things.
