Thanks! Interesting, it didn't work when I first tried it, but trying again after refreshing the page and specifying "Communities" in the search it worked as expected.
What's the... I'm not sure of the name of the [email protected] is called. But how can I join your community? :)
Oh gosh, I really wish I had a proper PKMS back when I was at university. I would have done exponentially better, I'm excited for you 😆
Personal preference 🤷
If I had known Lemmy existed I would have been hear a couple years ago, but thanks to spez I'm here today!
The problem is that even though you and me are ok with not having an app, most people need an app 🤷
It's not a 404 anymore and I was able to subscribe like expected 🤷 I'm on lemmy.blahaj.zone
I think they WILL want it anyway, but that's why I'm here :)
I get a 404 from that link, and the /c/things above aren't links for me, still learning Lemmy...
Hi, thanks! I've seen occasional Slack channels that are full of animated reactions and gifs, but Discord is so, so much worse.
I love forums because it's hard to miss something. It's easy to ignore subforums or mark them as read, and there's no realtime pressure. With Discord, I feel more likely to miss than catch anything. I've had notification badges that after 30 minutes I still couldn't figure out how to make go away. There's a mode to disable animations, but you can't see them again without disabling the mode (why not a button for each gif??). I tried joining a queer Discord but everyone's pronouns are a different font in a different color in a different size, all the time, with no way for me to simply the UI on my end. It really seems to me like it's only popular because of mobile apps.
Thanks for making this post! I (30NB) was diagnosed with cPSTD a little over a year ago and just this week my therapist is referring me for ASD screening. I find Discord utterly overwhelming and I like the reddit/lemmy kind of forum stuff over twitter/mastodon.
I'm looking forward to lemmy making progress! I'm a SWE and I wish I could contribute but I'm focusing on EMDR and general trauma processing right now 😕
I didn't specify and haven't heard anything back at all either.
