Image Transcription: Meme
[Gru, the long-nosed protagonist of the "Despicable Me" franchise, presents to the camera, pointing into the air and smiling. Behind him is a flipchart with text reading:]
And the best part about using Linux: No viruses!
[Still presenting, Gru has his hand in a C shape and his head down as he peers at the gap between his fingers. The text now reads:]
Look at this, a website downloaded a malicious .exe on my machine.
[Gru now has his hands pointing down, fingers splayed, still presenting. The text now reads:]
*Double Click*
See? Nothing happe...
[Gru looks back to the flipchart in a double-take, his eyes round and wide and his mouth downturned. The text still reads:]
*Wine is launching*
[The Wine logo: a slightly tipped wine glass with red wine sloshing inside it.]
I am a human who transcribes posts to improve accessibility on Lemmy. Transcriptions help people who use screen readers or other assistive technology to use the site. For more information, see here.
Does Lemmy not support alt text? I can't add alt text from Infinity for Lemmy; is that because Lemmy doesn't support it or just my client? Because they really should.
As far as I'm aware, Lemmy unfortunately does not provide the option to add alt text to images. Hopefully that will change, though!
Really? So when I write , the alt text does nothing?
I didn't know you could do that!
From what I can see, this means you can add alt text to images you embed using markdown. However, directly uploaded images in posts don't seem to have a way to directly add alt text that I can find. You can add a transcription in the text body, but it's not quite as accessible as pure alt text because screen readers won't read it automatically when the image gets focused.
Possibly you could embed an image in the text body and upload that like a text post, and that way use the markdown to add the alt text, but that would require the image is already hosted somewhere in the internet.
Oof that sucks. Thank you for answering :)
It would be great if it had proper alt text. But since an image post can have an additional text body you can put an image description there. I guess it's a good idea to wrap it in a spoiler/
