Hi there,

First off thanks a lot for setting up a Lemmy instance! I know that sysadmin stuff can be very draining, especially with fiddly early-days software.

Just posting here to give you my support, and incidentally to try a little issue I’ve noticed with Lemmy, where paragraphs breaks don’t appear properly for me with NVDA and Firefox. I didn’t find multi-paragraph posts or comments, so I’m making one to test.

Once more, thanks, and cool to see you here!–so to speak.

    I’m running the latest NVDA on Microsoft Edge, and I’m not having this issue. There is no blank line between paragraphs or anything, but they don’t run together.

      Going to try it on another computer with Firefox and NVDA. Hopefully it’s not some idiosyncratic thing on my machine. Tried already without NVDA or Firefox addons.

      Yep, tried on my work machine, and the problem continues. For example if I copy from the OP I get:

      especially when I’m reading the posts, comments sometimes work correctly.

      On one hand, sorry to hear. But on the other hand, at least it’s not some impossible to reproduce problem. Hopefully it gets fixed.

    Hi there,

    Just replying to this post to indicate that Lemmy seems to have fixed this. At least from lemmy.ml, paragraphs now appear properly separated to NVDA on Firefox. Yay!

    This was, silly or not, one of the most annoying Lemmy a11y niggles for me. Forward!

    now it works correctly. I see UI got overhauled. it’s even better than it was.

      Unfortunately it still doesn’t work for me. I tried both on my instance and on rblind.
