Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
You're viewing a single thread.
Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout... Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.
I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest.. but Ive gotta stand on this one.
I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.
Personally, Im using apollo until it goes dark. After that, Im going to try my best to migrate over, but Im just having a hard time finding my good area. I like it here a lot, but sometimes I just wanna mindlessly scroll and that feels moreso out of place here. Dont get me wrong, I like it here, but its usually more discussion and thought and less so killing time.
i understand. I thought it best to just tear the bandaid off. I have actually been trying to read books more, instead of the scroll. I know it sounds crazy, lol. I feel like it is a mentally healthier choice to try to cut down on it. At least for me.
Im still trying to chug through dantes inferno but I lost my book somewhere. Worst case ill leave it for another time and start over then
Same, getting ready to delete my 13 y/o account but using Apollo until the very end. Still new to Lemmy and tbh not really sure what I’m doing.
