Voiceover on iOS/Mac OS to be specific. I’m not sure how long this has been going on, but I’ve just discovered that the process for viewing names of people who have “liked” a forum post isn’t screenreader-accessible anymore. When the box which states that X amount of people liked a post is ticked, a list of profile display names usually pops up after the post’s action buttons: reply, report, bookmark, ETC. As far as I’m able to tell, the list doesn’t seem to be showing up there at the moment, nor anywhere else that I’ve been able to identify. Have other screenreader users on here been noticing this?

I haven’t seen any reports like that sorry. You might be able to get more information at https://meta.discourse.org/
you’re still using the default theme right? if not and you happen to be using hibiscus on this forum, that theme doesn’t have that “likes” list on my request. switching themes should fix that.
if you’re not using hibiscus, then it’s probably a discourse thing?

Nope, I’m still using the default theme, but it’s good to know about the hibiscus situation.

Just an extra data point for what it’s worth, I’m having a very similar problem on Windows with NVDA in Firefox and Chromium browsers. The list of people who reacted does appear, but no usernames are read out. It’s a list of blank items. Nothing on the Discourse Meta yet.
