They're doing really well! Do you think Lemmy should also implement alt text?

Not if it's policed as harshly as I hear that it is on Mastodon.

It is true that a lot of people don't boost posts unless they have alt text, but if they wouldn't do that, people wouldn't bother to write alt text and it wouldn't make much of a difference for the visually impaired.
