In light of recently reported news with the loss of r/TranscribersOfReddit , I think we should pickup the habit of transcribing our memes for our fellow developers who may be visually impaired. Check the article linked by this post titled "Reddit is about to get a little less accessible" for more context.

Here is an Archived snapshot of r/TranscribersOfReddit 's wiki that we could use to learn best practices:

Some examples for reference, but perhaps it might be better to include them directly into the body text of the post?

Unlike Reddit, URL posts in Lemmy can include user provided text, not just a title, making it easier for screen readers to discover in the page.

From the article linked by the post:

Many users are mourning the shutdown. “r/ToR_Archive is my r/all,” wrote u/MostlyBlindGamer, who is also a mod on r/blind. “Transcriptions on r/ProgrammerHumor are how I senselessly stay connected to the memes around my work.” “r/worldnewsvideo and its community will miss you terribly… thank you for all you have done to bring Reddit to everyone,” wrote another user.
