I don't understand how a company as big as Reddit does not take accessibility seriously.

How accessible is Lemmy in comparison?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/Blind mods created their own Lemmy instance at https://rblind.com/. They use some beta features and their own modifications to make it more accessible.

There's also the fact that Lemmy is an open source project, so people who want improved accessibility can do it themselves and send a pull request instead of duct-taping something together that sits on top of the platform or just hoping that improvements happen some day.
