If you know, you know

I don't know if there is a way you're supposed to be able to do it, but one thing you can do is right-click the image and pick Inspect from the context menu, which will open a panel with the HTML of the image highlighted, and part of that will be the alt text if there is any.

Also I have a Firefox extension that adds "Copy Alt text" to the context menu when you right-click an image. I've used that and pasted into a text editor, which usually works as well.

Both of those are inconvenient, but at least you can find it. But there should be a button on the image to view it easily like there is on Mastodon.

I lost the game.

You deserve it.

[captpretentious@lemmy.world]

I didn't think any will work.

Rickroll has been a thing for what 20 years? It's not about just being catchy. It came about in a time when 'going viral' still meant something. Early Internet culture spread it everywhere. I remember an addon in WoW that was a full screen Rickroll. People everywhere in various forums were tricking folks. So many people have grown up with it.

[nifty@lemmy.world]

I didn’t thanks for letting me know

[dharmacurious@slrpnk.net]

Ahh, yeah, I'm on mobile. I rarely ever use the laptop outside of school

[leadore@lemmy.world]

Are there Lemmy mobile apps? I don't even know, I only access it via the browser. But if there are, maybe request that feature.

[reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

That was my first guess. But, no it's not.

[reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I'm using Thunder on mobile and opening images shows their alt text under the image.

Some sites will show alt text when you hover your mouse over an image on PC as well.

Screen readers are the main use for alt text to describe the images to visually impaired users though.

[reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

There are multiple. There's Voyager, also available as a PWA if you want to stick to using your browser. I personally use Thunder most days.

The "official" app, made by the main lemmy dev is Jerboa, but like most first party fediverse apps, it's barebones compared to third party offerings.

[gregor@gregtech.eu]

I can vouch for Voyager, it's great

[pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de]

Did anyone else get it without even noticing the hint at the bottom?

[randomvideos@programming.dev]

Will people in the future hide Baby Shark links?

[thereallinga@sh.itjust.works]

Im actually proud of myself for not getting it after looking at the comments

[ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world]

I didn't even need it to tell that it's an 80's song lyrics

[mangoholic@lemmy.ml]

Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down... Fuck how is this my brains first thought, thats insane.

[object@sh.itjust.works]

That song came out in 1980s?? I always thought it came out at around early 2000s because of those memes.

[finishingdutch@lemmy.world]

Yep. If you’re on the internet for long enough, you pretty much develop a sixth sense for when you’re being rickrolled. As soon as I saw that ‘Never’ fit, I knew what was up.

[hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Damn, I just noticed that even the URL seems familiar to me.

[dragonsinaroom@lemmy.world]

OK fuck sake this got me, gonna bring the song up now

[marcos@lemmy.world]

Be the change you want to see in the world.
