I mean

This is probably better suited to a kbin magazine than a lemmy community 😉

Thank you! I added that to my OP.

Thank you!

If you’re transcribing text, transcribe all of the text, including repeated names.

It’s better to have alt text in the comment than to have no alt text at all :)

I think they were clarifying whether image posts (topics that are an image) could use that, and they cannot. Only inline images can.

Ooh good callout, I wasn’t aware of that.

Thanks for this!

For me, a big thing is to not only post about the wins.

Back when I was still using facebook, I made a point of at least once a month making a post talking about my struggles, because I knew that seeing everyone else post only happy posts made me feel like everyone else had a parfect life and I was the only failure. Of course that’s not true, it’s just that they weren’t posting about the bad times.

I am agnostic. My personal point of view is that if there some sort of all-powerful being(s) and they want something other than “don’t be a jerk” out of me, I don’t care enough to put effort into impress them.

I do love learning about other people’s belief systems, though, as long as they don’t try to prostelytize to me.

because they’re just there without begging for my attention

You clearly haven’t met my mom’s cat, lmao

I kind of just want to… not be bound by gender.

I’m cis myself so I can’t really advise you too strongly, but if you’re trying to find a label for what you’re feeling, I’d suggest looking into nonbinary, agender, and/or genderqueer identities and seeing if any of them resonate with you.

Good luck <3

even transgender friends have told me I don’t sound transgender

It’s important to note that all trans people are different and have different experiences, so just because your experience doesn’t line up with that of other trans folks doesn’t mean you’re any less trans than they are (if you identify as such).

Your feelings are valid and I hope you are doing well, all things considered.

There is huge value in discussing your feelings with those who are going through the same things as you, or who have gone through it in the past. I hope you do consider coming to !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org and chatting there if you are comfortable with it. And, for what it’s worth, even if you never plan to come out publicly, you are still valid as whatever gender (or lack thereof) that you identify as, and you deserve to feel supported and loved.

Not fantastic tbh. Ran into a rather jarring trigger of my biggest phobia at work today and am still feeling a bit shaky. Hopefully will be a bit more stable for the rest of the day.

I honestly doubt I will entirely stop using it, but I will likely entirely stop using it on mobile, and continue to use adblock on old.reddit. Some of the communities there are fairly irreplacable for me for now, especially hobby communities with their wikis and tutorials and years of answered questions you can search for.

It will most likely stop being my main time waster website on the net, though, and for that I’m not sad.

They can but it’s a bit wonky. You can “subscribe” to lemmy communities by following the community as if it were a username, so for example you’d follow @chat@beehaw.org to follow !chat@beehaw.org. However, the result is that every single post and comment made in chat gets boosted (“retweeted”) into your feed, which is… not ideal.

You can also respond to any lemmy post by pulling it up in mastadon and replying to it with your mastadon account. You can just search the link to a lemmy thread or post in the mastadon search bar to bring it up and reply from there.

!diy@beehaw.org!

You can also go to the communities tab, change the filter to “all”, and type in “DIY” or “Do it yourself” to find it across all lemmy instances (that federate with your instance)

If you subscribe to communities outside of beehaw, subscribed will show those whereas local will not. That’s my main reason for checking the subscribed filter occasionally :)
