Ok @main @mastoblind what do people use for their mastodon client on Windows with #NVDA? I have tried the web client but it's so so cluttered and there's no way to move through the feeds quickly. I'm on Dragonscave so I need something that will work with that.

@KaraLG84 @main @mastoblind That one I have looked at before and am not sure where you get it, it's a GitHub thing?

[–] KaraLG84@dragonscave.space 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@KaraLG84 @main @mastoblind ah ok, that's what I get for trusting search engines these days.

@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind I use enafore. It's web based, but it works very well with focus mode, has keyboard shortcuts, and a sound for new notifications. If you don't mind it being a web app, I'd highly recommend it.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Not at all, I would rather a Web App over installing software, I looked through the windows store before asking but the options were scarce.

[–] Kaliah@dragonscave.space 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind If you prefer a web app, enafore is, IMO, your best bet. I've had good experiences with it and am happy to help with it if you have questions.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Ok lol logged in, hotkeys did not work, realized I was in focus mode, had to look up how to get out of it with the display, realized most of my problems with the standard client were because of that…'

@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind I have a better experience with enafore in focus mode, actually. I don't use it with a display, but yeah.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind With the display and braille extender the hotkeys do not work, and most of them still do not but I can arrow down my feed without it stopping on every mention, link, and button.

@Kaliah @main @mastoblind Any idea why boosting is not going through? I boosted a few things and when I checked on my phone they were not.

@pixelate @main @mastoblind That did not allow other instances I thought.

@pixelate @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind Another vote for TweeseCake. I just don’t personally use it to scroll because I have so many filters. Consider your use case

@dessalines@lemmy.ml or the other lemmy devs might be willing to discuss accessibility improvements to the web UI, assuming you are also willing to do that

@main @mastoblind So I ended up using DragonsCave itself installed As a PWA with the advanced web interface enabled.

Edit: Turned the advanced web interface off as it made reading replies clunky.
