▲ 163 ▼ PieFed now has a font for people with dyslexia (thelemmy.club) submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by rimu@piefed.social [M] to c/piefed_meta@piefed.social 29 comments fedilink hide all child comments Go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and choose 'OpenDyslexia' in the Font setting, halfway down the form. This font looks odd to me but I'm told that it really helps some people. If you're one of those people, please let me know if you have any preferences around letter spacing or line height, etc. Edit: PieFed also has Atkinson Hyperledgible

That doesn't mean the site is a problem, just that its TLD has a higher percentage of untrustworthy sites.
