@devinprater Not really accessibility test, but I do have a question and maybe you'll be able to provide a better answer than what I find online.
There's a thing called EXIF data with which you can add meta data to e.g. images. This also includes things like "description", "caption", etc.
On fedi we have image descriptions, but that's completely different from the EXIF data in the image.
For Pleroma I currently have an MR open to read the EXIF data and prefill the image description with that. The idea is to later go the other way around as well. That way image descriptions can be more portable (i.e. You post an image, give it a proper description, someone downloads it, now other software can still access the image description through the correct EXIF data fields. If someone wants to upload the image again, the image description field will already pre filled and they can choose to keep the description or not.).
The problem I have is that I'm unsure what EXIF data fields I should use. I now use -ImageDescription, if that's empty, it will check -iptc:Caption-Abstract.
So my question is if you happen to know a bit about these things, and if so, what's best to use here.
If this isn't something you know either, do you happen to have some good examples of images that have descriptions like that? Then maybe I can check what fields are used. (Or you can run `exiftool path/to/image` and see what fields are used.)
