Good point. It’s definitely what I’d claim if I was the guy who replied!

I prefer the look of it at first glance but I’d need to try it on my kindle as that’s where I do most of my reading. Afaik kindle only supports open dyslexic.

EDIT: @jackbydev I just wanted to say thanks for the tip on the font. I’ve been using it on my kindle since you told me about it. It’s doesn’t work quite as well as open dyslexic for me but it works enough for me to use it as my default font - and it’s so much nicer to look at!

It kinda “anchors” the text so the letters stay where they’re meant to. A tiny spot in centre of my vision is blurry, sometimes I miss words in the middle of a sentence. For some reason this font helps with that.

I’m not dyslexic but I have macular issues which make reading a bit difficult. Switching to the open dyslexic font on my kindle has been a game changer.

I mod a couple of communities I missed from Reddit. I’ve been stealing content from there to get the communities going (using the dystopia app so no ads and I don’t interact with Reddit at all). It’s honestly a bit jarring to read the nastiness/aggression in the comments after 5 weeks on lemmy. It’s so much nicer here, I hope we don’t lose that vibe completely as lemmy grows.
