Hi,

As of right now, the site is pretty much entirely inaccessible for blind users on macOS. The reason for this is that the VoiceOver cursor has an unfortunate habit of jumping around all over the place, often miles away from where it aught to be. For example, if I try and look at my notifications, I often get jumped to the footer, or to the profile of the person whose comment I’m reading, or really anywhere else. This happens occasionally on iOS as well, though not nearly as frequently, for example I occasionally find myself clicking on the skip to content link when attempting to open a text field.

Apologies if I’m not explaining any of this clearly, it’s quite hard to describe to someone without much screen reader experience.

Thanks.

It would be great if there was some sort of dedicated list of instances similar to what Lemmy already has. Of course the process of creating an instance could do with simplification as well. IMO the focus on keeping this instance up and running, as opposed to working on Kbin itself, could be hugely detrimental to the entire project in the longterm.
