Also related to the Lemmy software: good support of the Markdown language means everyone can add alt-text to images (which wasn't possible on Reddit, Reddit was by design not blind friendly).

Nice! I want to try an experiment to see how it sounds:

rBlind.com logo

What is above should be the rBlind.com logo. I am curious how different screen readers will pick it up. Below is the markdown I used:

For me it just says "unlabeled" :(

I'm using Android TalkBack on Thunder, which is very much still in beta. It would be wonderful if the internet was more accessible.

I'm not actually visually impaired, but I find tts much more comfortable for reading in bed. Accessibility features improve things for everyone!

Might just be Thunder. Jerboa seems to read it okay with TalkBack on Android, for me at least, as does Jaws with Chrome on Windows

Works on iOS with Safari as well.
