Hi, all! I'm posting to Lemmy from desktop, and I'm having trouble finding where one adds an image description (commonly known as a "caption" or "alt text") for accessibility when making an image post.
Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1086 check this thread out. The TL;DR is in this comment from the developer:
That's a very disappointing comment from the developer, but thank you for the information. I guess that's just not something I'll be doing with Lemmy.
Directing users to just have a description in the comments or whatever is not a good accessibility solution. I hope the powers that be reconsider and choose to address this.
