Menopause

'Menopause isn't really that bad'...said no woman ever.

For those who are approaching or experiencing 'the change' (think reverse puberty), a time where hormone levels decline either through the aging process or by medical/surgical means.

Menopause and Perimenopause (the transitional time before Menopause) are unique to every person, and while there's no one-size fits all, we support each other on this roller coaster ride of wacked out hormones, absurd mood swings and random sweaty hot flashes.

Be kind. Be respectful. We are all in this together!


Menopause Wiki


RULES

1. All genders can post We are all here to learn about menopause and how to help anyone experiencing menopause, so be supportive and respectful.

2. Don't be a bully, creep, jerk or troll This means no personal attacks, no misogyny, no misandry, ageism, racism, or otherwise hateful or disrespectful commentary.

3. Read the Wiki and use the search tool before posting a new question

4. No selling products or services You can recommend products/methods that work for you, but soliciting clients or patients is not allowed. No advertising or self-promotions, including using this sub to drive traffic elsewhere.

5. Research surveys/studies are allowed ONLY after contacting the mods with details of the survey (purpose of survey, academic associations, how will the data be used, privacy/confidentiality policy) Mods will determine whether to approve the post or not. Those choosing to participate in surveys, must do so at their own risk.

6. No posting lab results We are not a substitute for medical advice. Questions about your lab results should be directed to your medical professional. Hormonal tests are not an accurate diagnosing tool for perimenopause.

Let us know how you are accessing lemmy (or reddit). Both are going to see some big updates shortly, reddit in a negative way, while lemmy is only improving services.

I am putting together some information to help new users get the most out of lemmy, so that it feels user-friendly and easily accessible. Stay tuned

For those of you using lemmy in a mobile browser, most browsers support "installing" the site as a progressive web app (PWA). This will create a shortcut which opens the site fullscreen without the usual browser address bar, giving it a much more "appy" feel.

For Safari on iOS:

  1. Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
  2. Click on the share button located at the center bottom of the screen
  3. Scroll to add to the home button at the bottom of the UI
  4. Click on add to the home button
  5. Click on add button

For the Chrome, Firefox and most other mobile browsers:

  1. Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
  2. Tap the 3-dot Firefox menu
  3. Select Install

I'm not familiar with Iphones though.

I feel like a dunce being unaware of this!

I'm using Jerboa 90% of the time for Lemmy. For Reddit I was 100% in RIF, but I'm off of there now ofc.

[–] nightscout 5 points 1 year ago

Right now for Lemmy I am using the Safari web browser page bookmarked onto my iPhone home screen. I have both Memmy and Mlem installed on my iPhone (beta versions), but both are missing a lot of basic features at the moment. So I mostly use the bookmarked safari page. I am eagerly waiting for iOS apps to be released.

[–] drinksa_vodka_drink 4 points 1 year ago

I use jerboa almost exclusively.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm using the Jerboa and Reddit is Fun apps on Android.

[–] Impressive_Towel2 4 points 1 year ago

I use lemmy.world on my phones browser.

Not great, not terrible.

[–] mishellaneous 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using the jerboa app on my (android) phone. I've used the website a couple of times (installed as an an app) but have found the app easier.... I've always used the official Reddit app (really only been on Reddit for just over a year and a half) and only using it to check out the sewing subs cos they don't seem to have moved over ... yet....

But agree that Reddit is very quickly losing its appeal, and I definitely prefer it here on Lemmy...

[–] bluemoose 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa to access lemmy on my phone. I've only looked in on Reddit once since the sub blackouts and used Boost.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Safari on my phone, but it leaves a lot to be desired. I’m hoping someone will develop a good iPhone app soon.

[–] dromicieomimus 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use memmy, and then use mobile safari only if i need to do something memmy can’t.

[–] leftylibra 1 points 1 year ago

Wow I didn't even know about memmy! That's cool!

[–] needleknows 3 points 1 year ago

So far I've just used lemmy.world on a browser on both laptop and kindle. If there's an app just for lemmy, I don't know what it is.
I do still scroll through Reddit a bit (using RIF on my phone), but it's becoming such a dumpster fire, it's losing its appeal quickly.

[–] LMAshton 3 points 1 year ago

Browser on iPad for lemmy. Apollo app for Reddit (for as long as I'm there anyway).

[–] hemko 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa for Lemmy, Infinity for reddit

[–] Logster998 3 points 1 year ago

Same here, I'll love infinity until the end.

[–] Daisychan 3 points 1 year ago

Jerboa for lemmy and Relay for Reddit (until it's put out of service...)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hi! I'm using the Jerboa app on an Android phone. Not using reddit much, but if I do, it's through the website. So glad to see this community here! Thank you for all that you do.

[–] Mohkia 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Was using jerboa but it's having issues with the new update so I am now trying lemmynade. As for reddit i was just using the official app but I am no longer using reddit.

And editing this to say I am not using liftoff

[–] leftylibra 2 points 1 year ago

haha lemmynade...love it. The latest Jerboa update requires your local lemmy instance to be running version 0.18+. Lemmy.world has not yet updated to version 0.18 as they are waiting for captcha fixes to resolve spam bot concerns. It's being worked on though!

[–] milktea 2 points 1 year ago

Wef wef web app on iPhone. Looks so much like Apollo, I forget where I am sometimes

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 1 year ago

Limbo on the iPhone and then desktop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Also using jerboa on lemmy. I've pretty much abandoned reddit. I was a long time RIF user and am sad to see it go. So happy to see activity here!

[–] getitoffmychestpleas 2 points 1 year ago

Desktop. Thank you for what you're doing!

[–] BoiledOats142 2 points 1 year ago

Mlem (beta) for Lemmy - sometimes just Firefox browser though. Hoping Mlem will keep improving.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm accessing this via Kbin.social (ie via Kbin, not quite Lemmy) on the ios Arc browser (no app yet for kbin, afaik), and am still connected to (but not actively using) Reddit via Apollo ios app, while it lasts.

[–] marshadow 2 points 1 year ago

Here I use mobile Safari and desktop Safari. I only peek at Reddit for a couple of health related subs that didn’t migrate, and I use Bacon Reader. Once that goes away I’ll use old.reddit.com in the browser until they kill that too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Jerboa on mobile. Reddit app although have been weaning myself off in favour of Lemmy.

[–] SeaGoatGirl 2 points 1 year ago

So far I am accessing Lemmy via Chrome on my laptop or phone.

[–] purplerain_1313 2 points 1 year ago

I am using Jerboa for Lemmy on my android phone.

[–] Aviandelight 2 points 1 year ago

I used the official reddit app for mobile (uninstalled now), I'm using both Jeroba app and browser for lemmy, and I'm using browser for kbin. I really only use my phone and I don't have a problem with accessing what I need.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

An even split of desktop browser and Jeroba.

And for Reddit, an even split between RiF and old.reddit (with RES) on desktop.
