#help with #images #photo #art for the visually impaired

Some testing to see the chance on #diaspora* for the #altText, #alt4me and #alt4you movement as it exists on mastodon.

Uploading a image to diaspora* as seen above doesn't allow to add altText directly to that image.

The image url upload in this post is:
https://pod.geraspora.de/uploads/images/scaled_full_0923e4d988d129239c49.webp

Using the thumb_medium size image url and adding the very same image as mark down and adding altText it would look like this:

At least in the post preview there is no hover over text available on the thumb nail added by markdown.
The complete markdown code used looks like this:
![basic avatar background of the actual tupambae.org server. The image is gimped compilation of the friendica logo together with the CC published permafleur image and the copy left sign in the center of the image](https://pod.geraspora.de/uploads/images/thumb_medium_0923e4d988d129239c49.webp)

If the altText shows up as hover over, a workaround would be to upload images as restricted publication toe a picture upload aspect that contains no contacts of the diaspora profile and insert it than into a public post with markdown using the altText option markdown provides. Uploaded images on diaspora are not restricted to the respective aspects group they are uploaded to but publicly available so this work around would work nicely.
