Such a valid point; success should not be measured only in dollars. I began explaining the basics of the Fediverse with some of my friends and the first question they asked was, “How do people even make money on there then?” It’s a bit disheartening to see how money-driven things are for some people.

So far it seems that the admins will make posts when they’re considering new ones. I think the need for committed moderators may be the challenge for adding new ones. You could always find a community on a different Lemmy instance or create a community on an instance that has that enabled.

I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol

Thank you. It’s not a common acronym; I just didn’t see a way I wanted to shorten it haha.

Outside of this post with the link, people that search “addiction” would probably see the community. I posted essentially this same post in other instances’ chat communities, and made sure this new community was discoverable by lemmy.world, beehaw.org, vlemmy.net, lemmy.one, and kbin.social. I also asked that the mental health community lists this as a “related community.”

I found beehaw first, so I started there but then discovered that the admins manage the community creation there. So I made a new account on lemmy.world to mod that, and most browsed with my beehaw account. But then beehaw needed to de-federate from lemmy.world, so I made a vLemmy and lemmy.one accounts so I could interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world.

tl;dr As someone else mentioned, finding a smaller, low-profile instance to have your home account but interacting with other instances seems to be the best approach

I personally love [email protected]

I may be a little biased because I mod it ;)

I’m sorry to hear that; I hope everything turns out alright.

I guess it depends on their type of humor. I don’t have memes, but I know a few dad jokes.

Did you hear about that other guy that got all of those toy horses stuck up his rectum? …Don’t worry, they’re saying his condition is stable

Have you seen that movie called Constipation? …It still hasn’t come out.

Sorry, I have this illness that I make airplane puns. …Doctors say it’s terminal

Speaking of doctors, do you know what kind of doctor that Dr Pepper is? …A fizz-ician
