Before the whole new transcription effort really starts going, I wanted to get some input from actual Blind and low-vision users to see like...what y'all actually want us to work on. Are there any particular Lemmy-specific accessibility problems we should be aware of? Additionally, for those of us independently transcribing right now, are there any specific communities you want us to branch out to? sending good vibes your way!

Good vibes are always welcome and send some of mine back at ya.

Cannot speak for the group at large but a nice to have from a personal standpoint would be stickied How Tos hosted in your community for things like alt text that we could use links to refer people to.

Otherwise it is still too early to have a good idea where the needs are. A lot of time still going into figuring out how things work and where things are. Sure I will have more to bring up as I learn more.

Thanks for keeping us in mind and have a great day!

Yes, we’re all trying to address a social problem with technological solutions. Providing information and guidance may be the best way to address this in a social way.
