The front page of Lemmy is the same as it was yesterday, BUT that made me realize that I had an unhealthy addiction to Reddit, refreshing multiple times a day and doomscrolling never ending content (lemmy.ml)

I've gone a full week without Reddit and I'm realizing the sheer amount of time I wasted on that fucking site. I'm taking back control of my time, my mental real estate, and mindfulness. I don't need new content every single waking moment, checking the app multiple times a day. If I check Lemmy every other day, that SHOULD be the relationship I want with an app like this.

And if I'm really really bored, I'll check "All instances" and sort by New on Jerboa!

I had that realization today too

I got like...frustrated when I was between meetings today and kept refreshing and there was no new content. I'll admit, I don't know what to do with that, you can only look up the news on work computers so may times.
