Huh. Would that be a good solution, like a hover popup you mean? I'm not into CSS. Will screen readers get that? Shouldn't be crazy difficult to make a bot otherwise, screen reader scans images for text on request by poster or automatically. We have bots here right?
No. Basically just hidden/invisible text that only a screen reader would see.
You'd just upload an image and type alt-text in a box, hit enter and the alt-text would be added to the HTML of the page but not rendered and the image would be added to the markdown as usual, when the screen reader gets to the image, instead of just skipping over it, it'd pull the hidden text from the HTML and read that.
See HTML Accessibility.
That sounds like a great idea, in that case, but I know 0 about HTML, I just make systems run. Where do we go to suggest something like it? Lemmy is a whole new thing for me so...
