You may try a few groups before you find the right place for you. Grief is hard to navigate and no one is going to have all the answers you're seeking. But there are people who can stand with you through this.

I lost my husband almost 8 years ago and my best advice is to find support. Don't isolate yourself. For me, family and friends were there and available but I couldn't seem to open up to them. I found a Google chat group of widow(er)s that worked for me. Any time, day or night, I could text that group of people who understood this utterly un-understandable grief. They helped me not feel alone as I found my path through it.

Message me and I'll be happy to give you my contact info if you need someone to talk to.

I'd like to see embedded gifs. I miss scrolling the feed and seeing gifs and short videos play and not having to click to load a different page to view.

Haha same. I started at beehaw but am having a hard time manually adding communities that I want to keep in that feed since they aren't onfederated instances. So I moved to sh.ithust.works and reddthat.

I'll probably keep beehaw, I like a lot of what it has to offer and it's cool for it to be a specific corner for me. But one of the others will probably become my default home

I have this issue with community names too. Connect doesn't show which instance it's in without some extra clicking.

Don't be a dick. Seriously, dude posted in Not Stupid Questions and you immediately tell him how stupid his question is.

If you find that Lemmy, let me know! Still trying to find good equivalents and I'd love to add this one to my politics feed lol

I am using the Connect for Lemmy app until Sync for Lemmy drops.

I've been a user for less than 24 hours, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol.

This link takes me to a random comment, not a tips list :(

I've had sync so long I can't even remember redditing without it. My late husband was a tech guy and when we met in college he introduced me to Reddit and recommended the app and bought the pro version of it. Been a daily user for at least 10 years and can't wait to see Sync for Lemmy!
