I see communities for disabled and neurodivergent people, but are there any where accessibility itself is focused on? (lemmy.world)

what I see in a lot of these communities is that they are about the same as any other community in functionality and how people interact, without any additional accessibility. They just happen to have disabled people and such.

Like, I want to find a place that uses tone indicators, or writes posts with alt-text, or even removes ableist language like I've seen in some videos or articles (I'll put a link to that one)

These aren't quite what you're looking for, but how about these?

Unfortunately so far as I can tell there doesn't appear to be one that meets your criteria.

One of the few I found with recent posts is itself narrowed down to digital accessibility:

!a11y@lemmy.world

The only other I found is on an instance (Beehaw) that doesn't connect to Lemmy World, so our posts wouldn't be visible to them.
