The alt text doesn’t help, can someone explain the joke here?
The alt text is for explaining what people would see in that image when the image doesn’t display/load or in general are unable to see it (e.g. blind people)
Perhaps mom is afraid that her daughter is going blind? I dunno.
Thank you but also unthank you
I don’t see alt-text here?
I do, when I hover my mouse over the image. YMMV, depending on your client.
My instance is .ml and I used jerboa, which has an alt-text field below the image uploader.
Annoyingly, while Jerboa has a field to add alt text to the submission when you create it, I can’t find a way to get it to show me the alt text on a submission that has already been created.
Odd. I’m on Firefox.
When I mouseover I just get a message to expand the image. Like this:
Upon expanding the image, I cannot get alt-text to appear.
EDIT: Here’s what I get when I use dev tools to inspect the element:
Notice the
alt=""This may be because your instance is running Lemmy v0.19.3.
