That seems like a lemmy limitation that probably needs worked on (i.e. prompting for alt text for images so apps can just read the alt text and folks are reminded to think of it).

EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that the Lemmy server software actually does support alt-text ... but I'm not sure how prevalent this is with clients (I don't remember ever seeing a prompt for it).
