          And in the square brackets of the embed you can an alt-text for the image (which can appear when you hover your mouse).

          This can be particularly helpful for those with impaired vision, where they can use the alt-text to have some idea of what the image is there for and what it shows.

          It’s kinda a thing on the fediverse to be as helpful to the vision impaired as much as you can using the alt-text, even if it’s just a brief description of the image.

          Thanks, I saw embedded pictures before, but didn’t know how to do that. Now I also learned something new today.

          Though for xkcd comics there is an alt-text with an additional punchline for every comic (tap alt-text on mobile link or hover over the comic with the cursor on PC), so it’s not ideal.
