Hey all,
I have a friend who's been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn't seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can't really direct him.
Can someone who does use a #ScreenReader point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?

@me In Windows the worst experience with screen readers comes from auto-scrolling. Posts which scroll automatically on the page, so focus jumps. I've even tried to set in the interface to avoid scrolling but I don't have a good experience in reading from web. I rather use tweesecake on windows and Mona app on iOS. Also trying another one called icecubes
@elettrona @me I turned on slow mode in the web interface (it's in Settings → Preferences → Appearance), because without it the focus kept changing.
@jernej__s @me Did the same. But sometimes focus jumps anyways
@me@social.jlamothe.net my friend @freya@chaosfem.tw uses a screen reader. Freya, do you have any advice on this?
I think @WeirdWriter would be a good expert on this? He's written a Fediverse guide for blind people at https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/5619/
