A preview of some upcoming accessibility features in Mlem

Hey folks!

I've been getting situated with the code base, but I wanted to start off with some low-hanging fruit, right now there was a big bug with VoiceOver and the search drop down. it was covering half of the screen and if you tried to use VoiceOver it was difficult to interact with posts in this area. this also seems to improve some Dynamic Text issues, but we still have some way to go.

Next up was the posts themselves, I wanted to group the related controls and simplify the interaction. Voting is now achieved by an adjustable action, simply swipe up or down on the post to vote.

I also added some connecting words to clean up reading the post stats.

Saving is not yet fully supported, but I went ahead and cleaned up the interaction in anticipation.

Up next is posting and commenting, We will have some videos to share once those are ready.

Looking forward to making Mlem the most accessible iOS app for interacting with Lemmy!
