Sure, every here mostly agrees and likes the same geeky stuff but we can easily be too cranky about it, one way or another. Lemmy seems way more likely to engage in real conversation in comments and not just one-line jokes than Reddit. People seem more passionate about their hobbies or viewpoints. More likely to help if asked directly and detailed in response. It’s a cool place!

I’m no expert but look into your state’s primary caregiver help. Sometimes it’s just a tax exemption but idk, may help, if you really had to give up work for long term care of a loved one! Good luck
