Ok, I can’t imagine blind people able to use a mouse very well. So I also imagine they have a brail keyboard. But does that mean they are set up with speakers and a keyboard and they learn how to navigate a computer really slowly, and that modern webpages are very… Noisy?
I am using Thunder, if I tap the image for both of yours (to make full screen) I can see the alt text on both. Not while I am in the post though, scrolling through replies.
I may have to tap on more images from here on. Thanks to you both for the info and examples!
I didn’t know you could do that! I’ll try it, let me know if it works.
FYI alt text only applies when the image fails to load. You can get hover text by adding quoted text after the url.

Alt text is read by screen readers even if the image loads.

You can try the built-in screen reader/accessibility mode in your OS and blow your mind.
Neat. For me on mobile, the hover text takes precedence but they both work.
On Eternity, I can see the alt-text when I long-press on the image.
