If you’re using this site and have low vision, colorblindness, a cognitive or a motor disability, consider providing feedback. Do they work well given your needs and use case?

I just noticed this part of the comment and saw nothing about this in the annoymous survey.

Speaking for myself as a person with cerebral palsy, I am not noticing too much issue with my mobility impacting use. Buttons are large and easy to tap. The outlines help, too. I use assitant menu on my Samsung tablet and it seems okay for now. In the next few days I’ll poke around with Voice Access and more in depth use of the assistant menu.

I switched over to dark menu to make these comments and I don’t feel better or worse about page breaks and the comment tree colors.

I just noticed OP doesn’t have a special color designation.

I. Love. Love. Love. This.

Thank you.

The inaccessible theme for Lemmy was more than half the reason I stayed on Old Reddit and rarely visited here and never explored Lemmy as a whole.

First impressions. I when I followed the link to Lemmy from Reddit I was using Kiwi Browser on a 2022 Samsung S6 Lite. Many of the page’s buttons and menus did not show. I had to turn on Talkback to find the hamburger menu and log in. I guess the items were appearing black on the black background. Voting buttons were among some of the other items that did not show. I turned off some extentions and settings and it didn’t seem to help. These kinds of issues were very common with dark themes in the past.

Anyway, I moved over to Brave browser and everything appears as it should. I have like 6 browsers because some websites appear better in one verses the other or ad-blocking works differently so it’s something I am used to and don’t mind. Just mentioning it here in case others are having difficulties.

I love what’s here. The text is responsive to sizing and pinch zooming. There isn’t any funny business like with sh.reddit, where the text gets smaller and smaller and smaller, as comments are added.

I struggle with seeing the new and the unfamilar so I am trying to push past that and know those things will get better with more use.

What I don’t see happening is me adjusting to the color palette. In light theme I can’t see a difference between the red and green used for admin and moderator, and I can just barely see a difference between the blue and the black and that’s not an immediate thing, it’s an if I stare at it long enough I am pretty sure it’s two different colors. The purple is fine but if you knew me, you’d know that isn’t a surprise.

The colors in dark theme are more different. There’s an obvious blue and gray (which is shocking if you knew me, haha) and the admin and moderator are different colors. One is pink and I am guessing the other is a green but it’s not obviously a green. Just different from the rest. It’s a weird color that I would say I don’t know what it is and would be laughed out of the room by most people. But I am not a fan of pastels. I am better with vivid colors like neons or bold primary ones. I typically use blacks and yellows and oranges and purples. But I understand not everyone is me.

In light theme the comment tree lines and dividers are not good. The dividers are not visible to me and the vertical comment lines are not great. None of it stands out.

I need to spend more time withe dark theme to comment on the these lines.

I appreciate that there is space between the up vote and down vote, but I feel like there needs to be space between down vote and view source.

The vote counter and the time stamp feel like they should just be on a different line right now they’re weirdly messy and broken up depending on username length.

My only other comment is about the text field I am currently writing this in, every once in a while it does a weird auto scroll thing that is too fast and it screws with my vision. I can’t really explain it better.

Anyway, even with the things I pointed out, I still find this amazing and fantastic. I am thrilled to bits.

Interesting that you have this experience. I don’t use a cane for my vision issues, but I do use tall hiking poles because of my physical disability. The last ones I had were mainly red, and the last time I used them a lady who came up behind me shook her keys so they were jingling and she said it was because she didn’t want to startle me. Apparently she’d been doing it a while but I didn’t hear it until she was practically next to me since I don’t hear well either.

If I heard a random person, “Do-do-do-do”-ing some Tom’s Diner in public it would make my day!
