Accessibility Statement

We strive to make Dijaspora useful to all users, including people with disabilities. This statement describes the current status and known limitations.

Last review: 27 April 2026

Accessibility goal

Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. We treat accessibility as an ongoing process rather than a one-off audit.

The site is built around semantic HTML, visible keyboard focus, sufficient contrast, and screen-reader support.

Applied standard

The target standard is WCAG 2.1 level AA. The most recent internal review was completed on 27 April 2026 (Wave 9 audit) and validated the main user flows.

What we have done

Concrete measures currently in place:

Semantic HTML with proper landmarks (header, nav, main, footer)
Visible focus ring on every interactive element and full keyboard navigation
Alt text for informational images and aria-labels for icons
Skip link at the top of every page that jumps to the main content
Clean heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3) and a correct lang attribute on the html element (sr / de / en)

Assistive-technology compatibility

The site has been tested with recent versions of screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver) and in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Older software may not behave as well.

Known limitations

We openly acknowledge the limitations we are working on:

Dark mode is in progress — contrast in dark mode is not yet finalised.
Some legacy comparison tables require horizontal scrolling on small mobile screens. Content remains accessible, but the visual experience is not ideal.
A few PDF attachments (external sample forms) may not be fully tagged for screen readers — we are working on alternative HTML versions.

Reporting accessibility problems

If you encounter content you cannot use, tell us — that is a direct signal to fix something.

Email [email protected] with an accessibility-related subject and a description (page URL, assistive technology used, what you expected). We aim to respond within 7 business days.

Next review

A comprehensive next review is planned within the next 12 months, with regular micro-reviews after major site changes.
