Due to my terrible memory it’s hard for me to remember/give specific examples unfortunately I just remember that any time I tried to post something asking about ADHD it was either auto-modded and never posted or never approved by the mods of the subreddit despite never being against any of their rules.

From my experience it’s an incredibly shut-down sub-reddit that enforces too many strict rules onto a community of people who don’t do well in restrictive communities like that.

Oh they also heavily enforced just putting your content into their megathreads rather than allowing you to post your own thread. Despite them allowing other people posting similar content to create their own threads.

Oh thank you for the explanation. I literally just moved from Reddit so I have next to no idea how this works. I had no idea it was different sites communicating with each other. It’ll definitely taking some getting used to.

Sorry I’m not familiar with Kbin or Mastodon… I just joined lemmy after I saw what happened to /r/piracy (reddit admins forcibly bringing it back online and putting their own mod in charge)

I had a horrible experience with /r/ADHD when trying to communicate with people in the community while I was going through my diagnosis and sought refuge at /r/ADHDmemes instead and there were a lot of people posting there about how terrible /r/ADHD was.

Hopefully I do! It’s a very similar but different experience so far and Reddit has been so ingrained into my memory for years now it’ll be a difficult change.
