This isn't Mastodon, and Lemmy does not support users entering alt text as far as I know.
@catloaf If it wasn't an instance of Mastodon it wouldn't be able to root your toots here.
The [email protected] counts it.
You should ask how to enter alt text. Usually, when you upload a photo, a button for edit shows up. There you can enter alt text.
I 100% posted from Lemmy, and Lemmy.world to be specific.
No idea how federation works though.
I assure you, lemmy.world is Lemmy, not Mastodon. There is limited interoperability between them.
But I did check and Lemmy does have an alt text field on submission. I don't know how it works past that.
My app does have the option to add when posting for the record. I appreciate the people that do it, but I take offense at it being forced. If it was a rule to posting, it’s a barrier to entry for some people unfortunately, and I wouldn’t join.
Maybe my attitude will change after I get my surgery, but I get enough prejudice myself IRL for my invisible disabilities. It’s also hard enough on my mental health as is, don’t always need to be reminded of my limitations in my prime.
Sucks not being able to fully utilize your hands at 35, wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
