Other 196's:
Yeah but I doubt there currently are any users here. There certainly are none if you go by the results of this poll.
So, you mean, we should make sure that doesn't change?
fair
I sometimes use them.
I personally have no use in alt texts.
They are certainly useful for search engines that index images, because then they get to know what is actually happening in the image, allowing people to search for it using keywords.
i add them even if no one gets use out of them because why the fuck not
Effort
wait how do you add alt text? i think i have missed it in the ui?
You add alt text in the post description, that's it. I don't think lemmy supports proper alt text like mastodon yet, so you have to use the post description.
ah so alt text is just meaning adding a transcript in the body. got it. thought i was somehow missing a dedicated field lol.
For now, maybe lemmy will implement alt text someday.
I use them on a regular basis.
