Lemmy - Why did you leave Reddit?

I figure reddit is going to get real shitty with the mass exodus, and I wanted to familiarize myself with a new social media app rather than watch my time waster from the last 6 years go down the toilet

Also I struggle with an eating disorder and continually got ads about intermittent fasting that were extremely triggering. I kept reporting them and they kept appearing in one way or another. So it really wasn't hard to convince me to delete that shit

Welcome reddit refugees!

Digging it so far. Some technical issues but I think they may just be due to the mobile app I am using (sometimes when I open a post, the comments displayed are the ones from the last post I looked at). But it feels much more.. Democratic? Than reddit did.

Dealing with Adderall side effects and tolerance

I found that my side effects got better with time, but also i ended up taking other meds (prozac) to balance me out, especially with the anxiety and lack of appetite/feeling tired.

I'm not on adderal anymore (they don't have it in the EU), I switched to vyvanse a couple years ago, and I find that the side effects are way milder. I'd say it's not quite as effective as adderal, but I can take it every day (weekends too) without feeling like I'm on crack.

Do you think your male partner should understand menstruation and / or birth control?

Yuuuup this is me. I have an IUD now so I don't get periods, per se, but sometimes I do get pretty bad cramping (I got the IUD to mitigate my horrible menstrual cramps... they are better, but not fully gone). When im in pain people know, lmao.

Currently 100% of my coworkers I see regularly are german men, so I think they think American women are just very loud about their reproductive systems 😂 but really I just cannot give a shit, and the idea that I should be ashamed of it is insulting.

Woah, that was intense also!! I got pretty engrossed reading it and my (german) boyfriend asked about what I was reading so I gave him the highlights -- a german family got stuck, they searched the obvious area, couldn't find anything within a reasonable distance -- and he was like, did they consider that germans walk a lot farther than normal people? 😅 so cool how the guy writing managed to figure out what happened.
