Right now there is a bit left to be desired when it comes to lemmys accessibility features, but it's a good idea to be mindful of the fact the fediverse and its platforms tends to have pretty universal accessibility features that will likely come to lemmy sooner rather than later

The problem with this is images are thumbnailed but descriptions are not, so the first thing I see is the description and not the image, kind of ruining the impact of the image...if we could get all text descriptions hidden behind spoiler tags or something, that would be great

Yeah, I wish they would do it the same way Mastodon does. There's an "alt text" button for images
