My posts are almost all visual content, and I’ve started including alt text in all my posts. Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed all support alt text with their default front ends, and Photon has it too. How good is my alt text? Am I writing too much or too little? Am I getting the necessary details and context across concisely enough? What can I change to make my alt text work better for you?

    Have vision-impaired users of Lemmy settled on an app or a front-end to use? I’m an Mbin user, so I don’t get to mess with those apps very much.

      No idea. I’ve never needed to use things like alt text, so I wouldn’t know.
