The "alt" text is awesome! (lemmy.world)

I don't think I have ever seen a Lemmy client that shows image alt text at all, or in this clear way. That's pretty cool!

I guess my one concern about it would be whether the button itself would obscure that corner part of the image if artwork was there, but that's no big deal.

You linked directly to Lemmy.world, so we can't see it.

    Weird, is it not showing an XKCD comic crosspost? I don't understand how to do those... It is pointing on my end in Blorp to: https://lemmy.world/post/47626053

    Well, it went to my browser and pulled up the entry there as a tab because Blorp seems to lack the ability to set itself for default links. You can very obviously see the /post/ part of the hyperlink, though, so if there's an error, it's not on the link's part...

    Pressing "share link to comment" on your comment yields the following link: https://piefed.social/comment/11580090

    Is this incorrect? I intentionally refer back to the original material whenever possible. It feels cleanest.

    The only alt text I see is "Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue".

    I actually don’t think alt text is working correctly here, but in general I like what mastodon does, so I’m trying to model it after that.
