I don’t want to boost inaccessible images that don’t have a caption. But I don’t use a screen reader, so it’s been hard to know. Only the MetaText app shows text captions. Or so I thought.

I just accidentally discovered that if you click-and-hold on an image in desktop-Mastodon, you can see if there’s a caption. Requires an active extra step, but at least it’s there.

Sharing in case I’m not the only one who didn’t know this.
