I like vaporwave and abstract meme formats. nothing of the message is lost by posting it in an image format.
except screen readers can't read it because the
altisn't the text in the image, and you can't search for it since it also doesn't get indexed, but yeah it's no big deal.Yeah it appears this code exists within lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4477/files
But, at least on lemmy.world I don't see the option for adding alt-text on new posts
Most people put a transcription in the body of the post to get around it. It seems piefed does allow it which is nice.
Okay after looking around in the code of lemmy-ui and playing around with the form it seems that after you add the image the alt text field shows up at the bottom of the form, after language. nowhere near the actual image, so it's no suprise you missed it.
Ah good spot, maybe this week if I have a minute I'll open a PR to move it below the image, which I think makes much more sense
We have had a soft rule for adding mandatory alt text on images in lefty memes for a while now. Still only get about maybe 50% compliance (I admit I haven't checked precisely), but it's definitely a lot better than it used to be.
I guess I need to go through and add them to all these memes
