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 asked the mods of r/transcribersOfReddit, and they said we could use the templates as long as we changed/removed the footer where it mentions the subreddit.

Do you know if they have they shown any interest to moving to lemmy or anywhere else in the Fediverse?

Here's a link to their statement: https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/comments/14ggf8k/the_future_of_transcribers_of_reddit/

TL;DR: We are closing due to changes in the platform, we do not have plans for another project in the future.

@Xanthrax@lemmy.world should we make a community for transcriptions? I'm willing to contribute.
