[META] We should help transcribe our memes for RBlind! (www.theverge.com)

In light of recently reported news with the loss of r/TranscribersOfReddit , I think we should pickup the habit of transcribing our memes for our fellow developers who may be visually impaired. Check the article linked by this post titled "Reddit is about to get a little less accessible" for more context.

Here is an Archived snapshot of r/TranscribersOfReddit 's wiki that we could use to learn best practices:

Some examples for reference, but perhaps it might be better to include them directly into the body text of the post?

Unlike Reddit, URL posts in Lemmy can include user provided text, not just a title, making it easier for screen readers to discover in the page.

I agree! I thought maybe something like this:

would help streamline/ automate the process, but I think it's not quite accurate enough yet, based on the results.
