Just a quick heads up, that r/menopause (on Reddit) has been re-opened for the time being. In the coming days, it will be ‘restricted’ instead of being private.
As an internet user of more than 25 years, and a redditor of more than 12 years, I think it is important to continue fostering this community on Lemmy. It is currently the only publicly-owned and operated social media platform and has exploded in growth in just the last few weeks. For those of you missing the wiki here, we are just waiting for a software update that will allow for larger posts (the wiki is huge!)
Personally, I believe strongly in having a healthcare-focused community that is free from advertising and corporate and pharmaceutical interests. I sincerely hope I am not alone in this belief.
I know some of you may want to return to reddit now that r/menopause is re-opened, but I implore you to consider the road ahead.
More updates to come.
I just found this instance through this link and I’m super happy about it! I didn’t even search for a sub, which is weird since I’d been on Reddit for over 12 years as well lol
I’m in full support of all alternatives and have been browsing the Fediverse since the blackout and I must say I really love it. I don’t plan on going back to Reddit, the only thing I kinda miss is my local sub.
In any event, thank you very much for this instance. Subbed and will be reading :)
That’s cool to see! Thanks for sharing that.
