I've spoken to someone who is deafblind before. They had an interpreter that would fingerspell onto their hand by touching it in certain places and making gestures. They would then fingerspell their answer back to the interpreter, and the interpreter would speak what they replied.

A lot of people don't know that you can use computers and phones with a refreshable braille display. Some people who are deafblind can also read braille, so you could send them some text to their phone/computer, and then they should be able to read that text with a refreshable braille display. They then could reply to you by typing on their normal or braille keyboard, meaning you'll get a reply in text.

Now they probably have a new submersible to munch on...

If a person who is blind is approaching you, the main rule is to just stay out of their way so they don't bump into you or whack your ankle with their white cane. If the street is quiet enough, then you could step a little more loudly, but it isn't necessary.

Yoshi. If Yoshi is taken, then Peach.

I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.

I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.
