Reminder that you can use Alternative Text for images in Markdown

An underrated accessibility feature on Lemmy is the ability to add alternative text to images in Markdown. The image above will be read as "photo of a snail" by screen-readers. The Markdown for that one is:

 
    
![Photo of a snail](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f9281257-b8bc-4c77-9aad-be5038e0758f.jpeg)

  

As you can see, the alternative text simply needs to be inserted between the two brackets, which are empty by default when you insert an image.
