Hey lovelies 🩷
We think we've possibly got a few followers and mutuals who are blind and use some kinds of iOS mobile devices, right?
Enquiring because of a random encounter with another plural trans+ being on Reddit, who advised that they're legally blind and had not found any suitably accessible way to access the fediverse.
Can anybody advise whether there are any such ways, so we can give them some way or ways to join the friendlier fediverse community?
If not, they're stuck largely with Reddit and Bluesky 😅😔
The topic only came up after we advised that we'd found fedi to be much more plural friendly and accepting that most other such places... especially Reddit.
For clarity, we have zero experience of iOS and are not blind (at least presently at least), so we'd appreciate any firsthand experiences very much 🫶🏻
Edit: Thank you so much for all answers! We've passed on the info. Hopefully something like Mona App, iOS's screen reader (VoiceOver), TweeseCake, Feditext, or the default Mastodon app will be accessible and useful for them 🥰🩷🫶

While i have no advice in the question asked, i want to share this project a friend of mine does.Its called oskars and is a Braille keyboard with bluetooth that works great with IOS and Android.
Small, lightweight and actual buttons that enable Braille input.It is actively developed with the local blind people community in vienna/austria.

You can build one for your friends for very cheap. -
