I do, when I hover my mouse over the image. YMMV, depending on your client.
My instance is .ml and I used jerboa, which has an alt-text field below the image uploader.
Annoyingly, while Jerboa has a field to add alt text to the submission when you create it, I can't find a way to get it to show me the alt text on a submission that has already been created.
Odd. I'm on Firefox.
When I mouseover I just get a message to expand the image. Like this:
Upon expanding the image, I cannot get alt-text to appear.
EDIT: Here's what I get when I use dev tools to inspect the element:
Notice the
alt=""This may be because your instance is running Lemmy v0.19.3.

That looks like its likely the case. Blahaj is a nice instance, but it's definitely behind the curve on current version status.
