Hi Everyone, I'm new to Lemmy. I heard about it before the API drama with reddit. Reddit's decisions have given me the motivation I need to try out Lemmy. I'm really enjoying what I've seen. I've been able to find communities of interest pretty easily. I'm also on Mastodon, so I'm familiar with the way things are done on the fediverse.

My disabilities include Fibromyalgia, R.O.P (I was born at 24 weeks,) Hyperacusis, and I'm autistic. I'm glad to have found a disabilities community on my home Lemmy instance. Hoping to contribute.
