Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Of course this doesn't actually display correctly in my phone browser either but that's okay, I know to add accessibility text into that part of the link so I'll do my best to remember to from here on.
What do you mean it doesn't display correctly?

I don't appear to be able to view the alt-text of images in any way on my mobile device, outside of viewing the raw text of a post/comment, but it's okay because I don't need to view the alt-text so it's no big deal for me.
I just need to know what I'm supposed to do with alt-text in links—and now I do—so that's the important part.
Yeah, I assumed that was what you meant. My mobile browser will show if I hold down on the image (but that also gets cut off) but most browser (and some lemmy apps) don't have any way of showing the alt-text, because apparently you don't need to see that?
I'm gonna go make that medal for alt text I thought about.
