Hi, i’m not blind, neither do I have any vision problem, but I was always curious to how blind folks use technology, talking about the fediverse, for you, blind or vision impaired, how is your experience?

WCAG. The standard has different levels - A, AA and AAA with A being the most basic. AAA is quite difficult to achieve. A lot of government sites are required to reach A or AA level. Currently I’m building a web app for use in schools that needs to meet AA.
The AInspector extension for firefox will show you what needs fixing on any web page.
I’ve put a lot of effort into making https://piefed.social work well on screen readers, including installing a screen reader and using the site. Browser extensions and standards can get you a long way but there’s no substitute for experiencing it the way a blind person would. It’s a work in progress but is a high priority.
https://rblind.com/ is a Lemmy instance intended for those leaving the /r/blind subreddit. The admin was making some changes to the instance to improve the screen reader experience.
