👩🦯The Blind FraggleMy main selling point to try and bring my blind friends to Mastodon from Twitter is people using alt text. I know I never claimed everyone did it all the time, but still, please don't make me look like a liar! #AltText
Zoe@Fragglemuppet I agree that Alt-Text is very important! I always add it when I post images. But how can you tell if someone else added alt text before boosting a post?

🌹@sugarblush depends on your client. fedilab actually warns me if i try to boost something missing alt text. otherwise just check for alt text (showing alt text is done differently in different clients)

Ah I see, thank you! On my PC I can view an image's alt-text by hovering over it with my mouse, but I'm not sure how to recreate this when on mobile. (I use a Progressive Web App on Firefox)
