TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

How might one even do that? It's not like the post title, comments, etc. reliably indicate the subject of the post.
shrug
I haven't really thought about it. I might resort to scanning the comments and doing a Bayesian score. Comments tend to use key words from the meme.
It's not for science; it doesn't have to be particularly accurate.
Also, mutherfuchers should annotate images with textual descriptions for fukcing accessability reasons, but they don't. That's something the Mastodon community does better the lemmy community does.
In large part bc Lemmy does not actually show the alternative text under virtually any conditions (except the source view). Maybe some apps do?
Caveat: PieFed now shows these by default, for posts (not comments).
It's a vicious/virtuous cycle where people want something, but Rust is a super difficult language to work with, so it's unlikely to happen except on a timeframe of a significant fraction of a decade.
Caveat 2: PieFed is written instead in Python, and we get brand new features practically weekly, e.g. lately polls and post flairs (neither of which federate out to Lemmy though, since as you guessed already, Lemmy lacks them).
people with accessability needs are presumably going to use clients and readers that do show alt text, though, right?
I agree about Rust. As popular as it's becoming, it's still nowhere near the level of other languages. That means fewer users to contribute to projects, which means slower changes. And, yes, compiled languages development is, in general, slower than scripting language development. How does this impact posters adding alt text? I don't see three connection.
