Yeah for sure. I went to the Join Lemmy website and was so confused about where I was supposed to create an account. Once I found lemm.ee and their intro to Lemmy article, it got way easier.

Plot twist: whoever made this ad was a medieval history major in college and this was the most fun they’ve had working on an ad campaign

I agree, I think Lemmy needs to be more easy to use and accessible if we want it to go mainstream. Us tech nerds tend to grossly overestimate what the average computer user’s tech skills are. Here’s an interesting study showing that most adults in the world barely know how to use a computer at all: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/ Of course, people who are on Reddit already have a certain degree of tech-savviness, but Lemmy still has a more confusing UI than Reddit.

Idk as someone with a lot of anxiety I feel like it makes sense that you’re less anxious around your psychologist. Cuz I feel like with therapy, there’s a bit of a script, your therapist asks you questions and steers the conversation so you don’t have to think of conversation topics, and you don’t have to worry about being too much because you’re literally paying the therapist to listen to you. Like you said, there are certain people that trigger your anxiety. And just because you’re not constantly anxious in every single situation doesn’t mean your anxiety is insignificant or fake. You don’t have to prove that your anxiety is debilitating enough to need help.

I mean yeah, but it’s not always possible for someone to move, especially in the short term. Maybe it’s too expensive or they can’t sell their house. This could be a good survival strategy in the meantime

My YouTube recommendations have been complete shit for months now, idk what to do

What I say: whoops I forgot to do my laundry 🤪

Do you ever mix up their name with another name of a similar color? Cuz I feel like I do that

That’s not true!
