  • Adult ADHD Diagnosis - what is the process like?
  • I was diagnosed 10 years ago via a neuro-psych assessment. It wasn’t cheap but I wanted to assess for other areas of needs, such as short term memory retention. The assessment included an interview followed by several hours of structured testing.

    These days, I believe there are quicker ways to test specifically for ADHD via a limited set of questions. A psychiatrist can certainly do this but most primary care physicians should also be able to as well. Depending on where you live, access to psychiatry might be limited and your primary care physician may be the one to manage your meds (if warranted) in any event. A psychologist may be able to diagnose ADHD but can’t offer medication options.

    Re: learning disability/dyslexia, the neuro-psych testing can identify these issues. There may be simpler, more cost effective methods to identify these or other deficits. If you potentially need accommodations in the workplace, they may require some proof of assessment.

    Hope that helps.

  • Pt.2 of the Kbird mascot. Thoughts on these two designs?
  • I really like the right one. It oozes confidence :)

  • Happy Canada Day!
  • Welcome! And depending on where you are, sorry about the air quality :/

  • The worst physical pain you've ever experienced ?
  • Worst instant of pain: root canal of infected tooth.

    Worst overall: 6.5mm kidney stone.

    Runner up: gall stone blocking duct.

  • Our first buddy!
  • Lol. My first 25 events with mine - 1 red finch, 1 cardinal, 23 of the same black squirrel. And for the record, it ignored the alarm feature by the third attempt.

  • Who owns the Fediverse? I mean who owns and runs the hardware that runs this system?
  • Thanks for the link! Coffee and kudos passed along.

  • iOS Subreddit will be back online on Monday 19th June
  • I may be reading it wrong but it appears mods will only enforce one rule: every post must somehow relate to iOS. “Hey, here’s a pic of John Oliver from my iOS device.” Is fair game. It will be up to admins, not mods to enforce site-wide rules. This is going to be interesting.

  • Vote for the name of this new Kbin and Lemmy iOS app under development!
  • Artemis. Great name and doesn’t imply a fixture to any one fed platform.

  • Thanks…I thought it was something altogether different.

  • Apollo was excellent. Still can't figure out how one very clever chap (Christian) could smoke the official Reddit App. Surely out of the 2K employees at Reddit, there must have been a small dev team dedicated to it.

    BTW, could you share how to get the kbin PWA going? I signed up and used kbin on the iPhone and, while ok in Safari, it has some challenges. Desktop is quite nice actually.

  • Unofficial Subreddit Migration List (Lemmy, Kbin)
  • Sort of manual but try this as a kbin.social user:

    https://kbin.social/m/{lemmy community} <-- but without the '!'
    e.g. https://kbin.social/m/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

    Remember to remove the '!' :)

  • Some wildflowers from this year
  • Very nice. Relaxing :)

  • Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: Reddit “was never designed to support third-party apps”
  • Oh, that’s rich. The API was created for third party access. And if he didn’t like it, why was it tolerated for so long? Hmmm…maybe because they brought in more users and their data to fatten the pig before IPO?

  • Me on my first day of lemmy
  • Crap! Just did that too :/

  • What’s with the cynicism towards Lemmy on r/RedditAlternatives and Reddit in general?
  • Like any early adopter, I'm here for the potential.

    Bingo. Some of the alternatives are relatively new. Focusing on potential is exactly the right approach. This is not Reddit, nor should it try to be. Focusing on the engagement is refreshing and mobile apps will come and grow eventually. I'll miss Apollo for sure but so far, I'm likely the experience here.

    I really respect the admins for keeping things going during the influx.

  • 60% of subreddits are still dark! Reddit activity down 30%
  • I agree and you aren't really aware of it until you are gone for a bit. I'm convinced the algorithm promotes some toxicity as it likely drives more engagement, which in turn promotes ad revenue. kbin feels like real human engagement. I replaced all of my reddit comments with a mild protest statement. Will likely delete on June 30th.

  • Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one?
  • I went with a new one. Fresh start and all.
