Benvenuto nel Poliverso

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day we are launching a new settings page that lists all of your media without alt text, so you can easily update any missing alt text in a single, easy to remember place.

You can also enable the Require Media Descriptions setting in Settings -> Media.

BTW, there are still several tickets that address accessibility, alt text or color contrast in Github.

The mobile app and website need to have labelled buttons for like, comment and sharing, as well as any posts that don't have alt text, it should still let you highlight them with the screen reader.

It would help immensely to see in the TL, if a pic has Alt or not.
For those who only share pics with ALT text (in order to support putting them on) but don't use screenreaders, it is atm not possible to see which has it, which don't.
Tested with Android-Browser usaage.

A marker with ALT in one corner of the thumbnail can help.
