Blind people of Reddit, which subreddits you wish people from r/TranscribersOfReddit transcribed? (self.Blind)

I'm one of the mods of the Transcribers of Reddit, as well as a mod here. Just as a disclaimer: adding subreddits does have some bureaucracy involved. We do have a list of subreddits that we plan to reach out to in the future though, and I'll do my best to make sure any subs people request get on that list.

However, that doesn't mean we'll start transcribing there. If the moderators of a subreddit don't give us permission to transcribe in their sub, then that's the end of it. We don't work where we're not wanted. And yes, we have been refused permission in the past. However, if there are particular images you want described, r/descriptionplease exists and is really under-used!

You might also be interested in $1 of places we already transcribe! If you subscribe to those subs, most of the stuff that hits your front page will probably be described.

Or if you just want to go through a big list of recently transcribed images, check out /r/tor_archive. You're sure to discover something interesting.

Also, to OP: this is kind of a difficult question you've asked. A lot of blind people just reflexively ignore image based subs. So you're sort of asking, "of these places you've probably never heard of, and have no idea what sorts of images they post, what would you like transcribed?" So it would not surprise me if your question gets no useful answers.

/r/wholesomememes

OCR picks up most of the cute stories, but I think comics or pictures get posted once in a while.

Hi there! I'm one of the ToR mods, and we have approached r/wholesomemes, but unfortunately they didn't want to partner with us.

Feel free to post those images to r/descriptionplease if you ever want one transcribed for you, though, we are happy to help.

Thank you for trying!

Anytime!

We are always looking for new subreddits to add, so hopefully we will get some that you're into :)

Alright, I'm going to ask and hopefully get a positive answer!

I'm relatively new to Reddit myself. I agree with Fastfinge in the sense that I stay away from any forum topics in general, regardless of what site they're being posted on, if they're image based. What I would love to see more of though, without having perused transcribing subreddits, would be comics.
