    Thing about Lemmy is, since its federated, and fully opensource, even if it doesn’t right now, adding an accessible interface is trivial. Be it through forks/pull requests, separate clients or frontends, or as a full-fledged federated peer focused on accessibility

    • Exactly somebody, anybody, can just submit a pull request for their improvement and it’s done. No running the change up the flagpole, getting it approved by the board, or developing a six week communication strategy over a high contrast button.

        And even if they don’t want to merge it, you can fork and run it, and still have access to the same content and whatnot, because it’s federated

        Mastodon shows this, with the whole pleroma/akkoma stuff, where an elixir based implementation became inactive, and was then forked and maintained
