Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to say hi - no doubt most of you saw us over on Reddit, and now we’re here (and I’m going to claim, we’re the first assistive tech organisation on Lemmy). (And by ‘we’, it’s Quentin, but who knows, we might do an AMA or something and I’ll throw the keys to Mick one day!)

So, do feel free to hit us up with any #NVDA questions you haven’t already asked elsewhere 😊 (At least, as long as I’ve done this right and it makes it out into the world 😂)

    Ah no I had a whole list of things I could pick for community (Technology, askLemmy, RedditMigration, no stupid questions, news, you should know, and a heap of others). What would have happened if I’d just left it blank (not sure if it would have let me, I didn’t try).

      Oh good! The last upgrade changed that. Looks like you can now post to communities your not subscribed to. As you can tell, everything about Lemmy is extremely new and in flux.

        Not a problem, we’re all learning :) Btw, random visual question - next to the username for each comment is an image of a mouse head - I was thinking that was because the people involved are on rblind, but @bgtlover@linuxrocks.online is posting from a different server on Mastodon and has the same image?

          @NVAccess @fastfinge yes, that’s the default avatar for people who don’t have one. If I uploaded one on here, I’m not sure it would transfer over there, but if you do, the mouse head will be replaced by that image

          Folks can set an avatar in your profile. The mouse head is shown when you have no Avatar set. To set one, press enter on your name to expand it, go to settings, and then there’s the option to upload an avatar (shown next to all of your comments) and a banner (shown at the top of your profile).

            Yep, that’s what it was - now I set my avatar and feel all corporatey! 😆
