As soon as the federation kicks in and links your instance to mine, I'll subscribe! I have ADHD without autism (as far as I know lol), but I've been lurking here out of neurodiverse solidarity.

Hey, I love your name! Go Sun-Spider!
Thank you! I may have just watched Across the Spider-Verse when I was making my account 😄
I still need to watch it, I'm so ready to see it too. Sun-Spider actually has the same disorder I do, so it's so cool to see the representation like that!
That's so cool! They only appear very briefly, but I immediately went away and looked them up. I didn't know about them before! I have a favourite uncle with a spinal injury who's mostly in a wheelchair, but can get around on crutches, so I immediately felt connected to the character. I'm a huge fan of more disabled representation.
I tried to subscribe, but ~~the~~ it seems that lemmy.world hasn't connected with your server yet. Once that happens, I'd be happy to add your community to the lemmy.world/c/autism sidebar if you would do the same for us 🙂
edit: Never mind. It wasn't the Fediverse's fault. I didn't know how to navigate to the community from my instance. I needed to go to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
Done
Same!
For some reason, I cannot subscribe to your community. It asks me to login, but I'm not part of the instance. When follow the instructions to find your community from my instance, the instance doesn't show up. Any ideas?
you need to use lemmy world to reach it. This should work: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
ohhhHHHHHhhh! that's what I needed to learn. Thank you!
Could you change your link to the following: [ADHD Memes](/c/[email protected])? This will ensure correct context and also link natively through each user's own instance so they can post and comment directly.
omg, it's still too early for me rn. let me try again...
yes, I changed it. how does it look to you now?
perfect. Thanks
welcs
certainly
You are also welcome to check out the ADHD community here on lemmy.world: ADHD
nice! I really can't wait for multi-communities in lemmy.
Should be coming soon and then we can share content
I've added a link to your community and I decided to convert my community to "ADHD Memes" instead. This way we won't compete for the same engagement.
I linked back to yours too

Thats a way better link method, thanks!
Seeing community owners interact like this is lovely, and gives me hope that this whole communty issue won't even take that long to sort itself out. Thanks for being so awesome guys!
Does directly mean that they won't get redirected to another website and instead get "sent to" a kinda subpage on their current one?
(Still very new to this, got the basic concept of instances, communities and the wider fediverse but don't know much about the detaild stuff)
Correct
