What is the point of copying the text from a text post and putting in the post summary? I've seen it on a lot of posts and it just seems...odd. is there a legitimate reason for it?
Alt text! Good for the vision impaired.
A blind Lemming told me the web is rough without it.
Had no Idea! Thanks. Honestly never could have considered that someone blind could be using Lemmy.
One of the biggest issues with the Reddit API changes, and ultimately why RedReader and maybe a few other free 3rd party apps still exist, is because of screen readers and accessibility for blind users. And apparently a decent number of blind Redditors came to Lemmy over it (although I do wonder how good the Lemmy apps are for them?).
