Okay the pic above in this thread was posted on a masto server, and boosted here by me. I can see no way to reveal the alt-text from here on my Mitra account.
Normally, a hovering the pointer momentarily with a mouse-over will bring up the alt-txt (mastodon and forks).
Alternatively one may need to click on the photo which brings it into focus, and then one can do a mouse-over (pleroma and forks).
Friendica, Misskey, Takahe, Hubzilla, Pixelfed, and others have their own similar or same methods to reveal the alt-txt.
