If you're like me, then you were really happy to learn about Mastodon's enthusiastic support for image descriptions, and you were eager to join in.
Then you went to actually write something and realized you have no idea how to present visual info in a way that is helpful/enjoyable to those who are #VisuallyImpaired or #Blind.
I found this guide really informative: https://uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-image-description-2f30d3bf5546
Post-viral Edit: Don't forget to give the author some love on medium. They did the work!
@Gargron Congrats!
I think Mastodon should rename 'instances' to 'Communities'
Instances feel too technical, and I see even savvy people struggling to understand it.
I argue communities would make much more sense. It denotes much of the purpose behind 'why' this service has different instances, and many people will already be familiar with the concept.
