    I use a third-party browsing client, and I honestly assumed it was an accessibility feature provided by the app. Either way, it’s a really nice addition, and now that I know it’s “hand made” by users, I’m even more impressed with the community for using it.

      Alt-text has been a feature of HTML since the beginning, or very close to it – as in, in addition to accessibility it was initially important for understanding what images were showing before they loaded in over your dial-up modem. Lemmy Markdown supporting it isn’t an unusual feature either, AFAIK; what’s unusual is how many users here are actually motivated to fill it in.
