Depends on what you mean by accessibility.
You can browse and post on the fediverse from any text-only browser, which makes it easy to use screen reader software and navigate it without a mouse.
When I wrote the above I was thinking about FOSS generally which wasn’t what the OP was asking so I apologize. Lemmy is more navigable with a screen reader compared to Reddit, though improvements can be made.
I do stand by my statement regarding FOSS generally, especially desktop Linux. I feel legitimately trapped in Windows because accessibility on Linux was poor when I first started using it in 2009 and as actually gotten worse since then.
I’m bitter that my blindness bars me from the security and privacy Linux offers over Windows.
Yeah, accessibility in FOSS software really is lacking.
I don't think reddit even has an option for alttexts. Lemmy really encourages it.
