Alt text: The cockroach from Kafka’s book “The Metamorphosis” lying on the back on a bed with a smartphone. Beneath it says: “anybody wanna have a bit of a girl’s night out I am metamorphosising”

I can highly recommend reading it, I love the way it shows that we should find people who still love us if we lose everything (shown by a negative example in the book)
Meta [rule]: what’s up with the “Alt text” format I occasionally see with Lemmy memes? This a thing we’re doing for seeing impaired or something?
Yup, it’s for people using a screenreader
Kinda wish Lemmy would just natively implement the alt tag for images by offering an additional field when creating an image post. This could allow for more interesting descriptions beyond image transcriptions.
