Using Firefox with ridonkulous levels of magnification, no screen reader. These are my first impressions of rblind.com
If I zoom in enough to make the text readable the side bar disappears. Same problem as Reddit.
The text lines are too long for me, I wish they were either broken into columns like the Bible or just in narrower blocks. I lose track of where I am in the message, sometimes rereading a line and sometimes skipping one. My field of vision is small enough it’s hard to find the next line to read.
There’s something uncomfortable about the text. Not sure if it’s the font, the bright, stark white I’m seeing in dark mode, or the fact my eyes are really working overtime because it’s so small. Can’t really describe it but it’s slightly painful to read.
There’s no icon on the open tab. It makes finding this tab harder when multiple tabs are open.
I don’t like having to scroll down two pages worth of stuff to find the CREATE button to submit this post, and I echo D. Hamlin’s complaint about having to select a language before I post this. I really hope we don’t have to do that every time we post or comment.
When I write rblind.com it doesn’t appear as a clickable hyperlink in this window but it does when I click PREVIEW. We’ll find out when I post this if it converts into one by itself or if I have to manually add the link.
The PREVIEW button doesn’t change when clicked. It’s hard to tell if I’m in preview mode or not. That may be a dark mode issue, I’m not sure.

That one is our fault. There’s a place in the settings we can upload an icon. I just didn’t have anything to upload.

Agreed, this should be a toggle.

If you don’t select one, it’ll use your default. It isn’t required. Honestly I wish we could disable multilingual support entirely; we’re only really able to support English content anyway.

We can actually make a custom theme. I’m just waiting until the Lemmy programmers fix some of the other issues before we do that.
@Altrissa@rblind.com can you add the icon and maybe a banner?
It would be in the community settings I think.
There’s also a create post link up top. Well, I use a screen reader, not magnification, so not 100% sure that it’s physically up top, but the first links I get are the instance name, then communities, and then create post. If you do that when you’re in a community it will already create a post in it.
