There doesn't seem to be any way to view the alt text image descriptions?

This can contain important content, it would be good to have (for example) a long press expose the alt text, at least as an option in the context menu.

There is currently no way to have it displayed on screen, but you can hear it if you use a screen reader.

How about displaying a native Android toast popup with the alt text after long-pressing the image?

I think a feature like the one described in the Mastodon web client repo would be great to add to the Android client. The iOS client also has the same issue.

You mean like how Tusky does it?

Yes, exactly. Tusky also displays the alt text in beneath the image in a “text container”; that would be an option too.
