I was almost ready to create an ASD community in my instance when I notice this one exists. Thought I’d link back to the ADHD community I’m running as a lot of us (including myself) have both

    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.

          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/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com

          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.

              Could you change your link to the following: [ADHD Memes](/c/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com)? This will ensure correct context and also link natively through each user’s own instance so they can post and comment directly.

                  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)
