well that's interesting to note, thank you. i will include them if i have time (although i imagine trying to do so for every post would just lead me to making fewer posts), and i will definitely put more effort into my alt text. i'm not that great a creative writer though, so i fear i wouldn't be able to capture the scene in such an illustrative way as you have

if a !TranscribersOfLemmy@rblind.com or something does get created, and you remember, i don't suppose you'd ping me? as it's something i've never actually got around to, but always supported and wanted to get into

If one does ever get created, I'll definitely try and remember to ping you!

To answer your edit questions, which I've just seen:

The original r/TranscribersOfReddit (ToR) was run by an actual non-profit organisation (the Grafeas Group) with a lot of infrastructure built up to support it and keep it running smoothly. When Reddit's API changes happened, we didn't have the resources to move the project somewhere else (and nowhere else was as dreadfully inaccessible as Reddit), so we were essentially forced to shut it down. The communities that exist on Lemmy aren't coordinated, they're just people who used to be part of ToR doing transcriptions in their free time, in a capacity not associated with the Grafeas Group. As such, there isn't really a way to coordinate them.
I just sort by new on the communities I'm subscribed to.
I don't use a screen reader but l do know the answer to this -- alt text on the image is a much better route to go when you have the option, as it means people can find the transcription right next to the image instead of looking for it in the comments. Helping people find our transcriptions in the comments was a challenge on Reddit.
