Yoko the swell shark was born in a habitat of all-female sharks who hadn't seen a male in years. The aquarium has two possible explanations — and hopes to get confirmation in the coming months.

@dandylover1 @phle Ha! it works with markdown. One can read the alt text by hoovering the cursor over the image, like this:

! [ alt text ] ( url to the picture )

@phle @m33 @m33 @phle @m33 Maybe. But those of us who use screen readers don't use a mouse, so hovering means nothing.

@dandylover1 @phle I was typing that question : does it work with you screen reader, sorry that it doesn’t.

Will try something else later.

Oh and if I may: how about emojis? Text and image does they get read aloud ?

@phle @m33 @m33 @phle @m33 That depends. If someone sets a screen reader to read them, they can. But that's usually for the emoticons like smiling, etc. The emojis that are like graphics are sometimes read and sometimes not. I personally don't use any of them and have all of that turned off. What is really bad is when someone writes twenty of them in a row. Imagine hearing "cat with smiling face" twenty times. So many people do that that it's easier to just have it turned off. But many blind people do use them.

@dandylover1 @m33 Yes! I've seen it as well

• but I'm unsure of whether it only works on mastodon (because I've only seen it on federated mastodon posts, here on Friendica), or if it's possible to "summon" it to here as well.

@m33 A light golden-colored Golden Retriever dog is smiling with its eyes closed. A person's hand, wearing a red and black plaid shirt, is gently petting the dog's fur on its side. The background is blurred but shows out-of-focus green foliage.
