I’m curious how accessible Lemmy is to users who need to use assistive technology, and whether the many 3rd party app developers are making their apps accessible.
Actually, open-source software can be great for accessibility and I’ve been testing Lemmy with a screen reader.
Overall Lemmy is pretty close right now once a few roadblocks are removed. The audio captcha was broken, I helped fix that in the code just a couple of days ago but it hasn’t been released yet (at least not in lemmy.world).
After that I mostly see more subtle issues, not complete deal breakers. I haven’t started looking at moderator features, though.
I’m not sure about the current offerings, but I think former Reddit apps transitioning to Lemmy (such as Sync) should retain any accessibility compatibility/features they had.
