@Blueonred@mastodon.ie The text is meant for screen reading programs. But on the web you can hover your cursor over the image and if there's a description it'll pop up near your cursor.
On some apps, such as Metatext or Tusky (I believe) when you tap on the image you can see the image description below.
I do those checks before boosting any post. No description, no boost.
Some apps don't show the description, which for me would be a sign to try another app.

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot good to know. I'm just using the browser on my phone. Chrome. I don't see any description when I look at the images. A flaw with the browser.

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot I am using tusky app now and I can see the text now. Certainly wasn't working on other interfaces.
