Hold the fuck up. This is what everyone experiences, right? It’s not a sign of ADHD, is it? What the hell?! JFC social media is how I learned I have total aphantasia and I’m not ready for this.

It’s becoming one of those things where more and more people have some bits and pieces from the spectrum. I’m convinced that a big contributor is how stupidly fast-paced our society is, and the amount of information we are expected to constantly be processing.

Not sure what prompted it, but I have you tagged as my favorite fediverson for brilliance, kindness, and humor.

Wow, I’m honored! I know we’ve definitely crossed paths before because I remember the username. Always makes me laugh. I love how tight-knit the Lemmy community is.

Ninja edit: how do you assign tags to a user? I’m on the Mlem app but can’t find that feature.

Mlem dev here. Tagging is a feature implemented by Voyager and some other clients, Mlem doesn't have this feature. It isn't an official feature of Lemmy - clients store the tag information locally on-device rather than on the Lemmy server.

In Lemmy 1.0 (an upcoming version) they're adding support for adding notes to users, and Mlem will be adding support for it at that point.

TL;DR switch to Voyager or wait for Lemmy 1.0.

Woah, I feel like I summoned you! Thank you for this app! I use it daily.

I had a feeling it was an app-centric feature. Thanks for the info!

The massive flood of information and things to remember/learn/stay on top of absolutely makes the symptoms mkre apparent and the effects more frustrating.

Also, society doesn't just sweep any neuro divergent condition under the rug of "let's cure it with lobotomies"

Aphabtasia isn't real.

INB4 any comments whatsoever.

I've read before that there is a lot of overlap with aphantasia and ADHD. I also have aphantasia, and am pretty sure I have ADHD as well, so there's another +1 for that theory, I suppose.

I wonder about this as well
