Wake up a bit earlier, eat meds, go back to sleep.

I could have sworn rounding up would've been just enough to cover it. But after fees, I've appeared to have fallen just short.

But that should be okay, this should help relieve you of that donation stress for the year ahead I hope.

So, seeing as how it is now at $19.63/week, and assuming you're not getting any donations from anywhere else...

You're short about just under A$38/month.

It wouldn't be fair for you to both maintain the server on your own time and pay for it out of your own pocket...

Ah, why not. Here's a year's worth of $38/month (A$456) to tide you over.

Thanks for the info, and thank you for being so welcoming.

That sounds like a pretty neat system actually. No community is actually truly dead that way, any new content would be given a fair chance in /all/.

Your pen holder... Is that stiched into the notebook cover? It's really cool.

I currently have a single Midori MD A6 blank notebook as my everything book. I'll take my meeting notes in there, maintain my bullet journaling, routine tracking, the occasional impassioned words on paper while I try to process my thoughts and emotions, some ideas and learnings I got from books I've read and musings I came up with, etc, etc.

I'm tempted to split it up into multiple notebooks to organize it all better, but I know if I do, none of them put together would've gotten filled nearly as much as the one book that I would take with me everywhere. Just a few short months ago, I had tried starting a "Done" List for motivational purposes. But like every other time I had tried, it had failed completely to neglect within the first few pages, and then I would give up completely on it.

So one notebook, and one only. That's my current plan for the foreseeable future. I just make sure I've got a crazy amount of ribbons to know where to return to in all that mess.

Thanks! I'll try to make this the best positive experience I can for social media.

Thanks a lot. I feel so welcomed already.

I'm counting on the lack of algorithms and even the lack of endless niche content of every conceivable subject to make my use of "Reddit" a far healthier affair. Reddit wasn't good for me, but I know I can't give up on an online community entirely. I love to participate and share way too much not to be sucked in again, and without an alternative, I fear I would've likely returned there, and shackle myself once again with a new account.

I wouldn't want that.

I know there are other, more active ADHD communities out there, in fact, I deliberately chose this one because I didn't want this to be some public performance. The ADHD community here is the very definition of dead, I'm the only post here after all, and only Reddthat users should've seen this at all on their local feed if they even would, or at least that was my intention.

Seeing a comment from another instance is a surprise. Not an unwelcomed one, a very pleasant and special one in fact. You must be 1 of the only 80 subscribers here (previously 78), a tiny—and can be argued, were this Reddit: positively insignificant—amount in social media terms. There are no algorithms of discovery that would otherwise bring my post to you, what are the odds. What are the odds.

I had never gone into Reddit to chase inconsequential numbers, and a few comments here and there in a 100k subscriber sub is just inevitable, even if they would make me happy when they're the positive and encouraging kind.

This, this is special.
