    I would assume that Lemmy is not very accessible yet, but Lemmy’s mobile apps are under a month old. They are making fast progress and I would expect that to change very soon.

    However, Reddit’s app has been out for years and they have been told about its accessibility problems for just as long. The impression I get is that they didn’t prioritize accessibility since third-party apps handled that for them. When they cut off access to these apps, they made it very clear that they have no alternatives in mind; they consider the visually-impaired userbase to be insignificant and simply don’t care about their issues.

      At least one (Jerboa) is considerably older than that, but just hasn’t had a lot of polish put into it because it’s a first-party app and the devs were prioritizing working on the server software itself.

        Lemmur was what I used when I made my account, seems to be dead now (unless it’s an issue on my side)
