Here is a continuously updated list of communities dedicated to health, or specific diagnoses, from all around the Lemmy network.

There are some disclaimers and notes below the list. Check them too.

How to use links?

If you’re having problems with some links (such as a “community not found” message), see the FAQ on this post. I had to remove the dual links due to the character limit.

Notes:

  • I’m not vouching for any of these communities, check at your own discretion. Some of them are abandoned or inactive, so if you see one without activity that might be interesting, consider bringing it back to life and crosspost here. Communities with no content whatsoever aren’t included.

  • Work in progress - let me know if you know of new communities that aren’t in the list, or if you have other feedback.

(1) Kbin is a different network from Lemmy. Interactivity may be limited or delayed.

(2) These instances aren’t federated with lemmy.world. To interact, you need to have an account on an instance that federates with them.

Important: Some instances may gravitate towards politics or philosophies different from your own. Inclusion of a health community of any instance does not mean endorsement of that philosophy.

Friends and Family of Persons with Addiction

Friends and Family of Persons with Addiction

Description

  • This is a safe space for friends and family of addicts to share stories, give support, and post resources for addiction.
  • This is not a group for people currently experiencing addiction. There are other Fediverse communities with that purpose, and I plan to facilitate my own in the future as well.

Notes

  • This is not exclusive to drug addiction, as there are many types of addiction.
  • I intend to add resources as I am able.

Chat

Resources

  • Dr Gabor Maté has one of the most comprehensive understandings of addiction that I have found. His book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts helps people understand the reason for addiction as we understand it currently.
  • Addict in the House by Robin Barnett has a more direct approach for “okay, now what can I actually do in my situation?”

Related Communities

Disclaimer

  • This will not replace counseling, therapy, or medical advice. If you find yourself in an emergent situation, call 911 (in the US) for medical assistance or 988 for mental health crisis.
