I'm not sure but I don't think so. It would require the server to store the alt text for the picture.
And it would also require people to actually use the feature. I still don't know how Mastodon managed to pull this off in this regard..

By making it convenient on the tech side, and having a cohesive enough culture that any newcomers from the many Twitter migrations just did the right thing because that was the norm when they joined.
I myself won't boost anything that doesn't have alt text for example. (Which is still surprisingly common despite the reputation of Masto being well-alt-texted)
Got it.
Well, Lemmy already kind of has its own culture, and it didn't catch here yet. But I hope that, if the feature gets implemented, we manage to spread its usage.
This more than anything, I think, made the largest difference. There were lots of alt-scolds on every other platform, but Mastodon embraced alt text to a far greater degree ... BECAUSE IT'S SO EASY.
