This is based on me setting one up, but I kept it general with mostly linking to other documentation.
The idea is that to just provide some Pleroma-specific info, maybe give some pointers, and point to the right (external) docs.
During attachment upload Pleroma returns a "description" field. Pleroma-fe has an MR to use that to pre-fill the image description field, <https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma-fe/-/merge_requests/1399>
* This MR allows Pleroma to read the EXIF data during upload and return the description to the FE
* If a description is already present (e.g. because a previous module added it), it will use that
* Otherwise it will read from the EXIF data. First it will check -ImageDescription, if that's empty, it will check -iptc:Caption-Abstract
* If no description is found, it will simply return nil, just like before
* When people set up a new instance, they will be asked if they want to read metadata and this module will be activated if so
This was taken from an MR i did on Pleroma and isn't finished yet.
Even though latest PleromaFE supports displaying these properly, mobile
apps still exist, so I think we should offer a workaround to those who
want it.
AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but
* People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro
* People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means
I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP)

* ./configuration/mrf.md
* Change example
* ./configuration/cheatsheet.md
* Change descriptions to include that a reason is given
* CHANGELOG.md
* Add as breaking change
