Not controlled by advertisers, only your shitty peers. Superior.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love your shitty peers like you love yourself. The superior is only a hamsterweel illusion.

Shitty peers are what make websites like Lemmy and formerly Reddit great.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I can confirm my level of shittiness has increased.

I’ve seriously shaved off an hour or two on average of screen time on my phone since I left Reddit. Now I keep dead scrolling to a minimum. Feels positively exquisite.

Not only that The never ending pun replies really affected my brain cells :/

[–] expatriado 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i heard that randomly capitalizing The is one of the side effects of brain damage caused by puns

I guess your brain was being punished. Sorry, couldn't resist.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't. I've actually become increasingly desperate searching for ways to waste time on my phone. What else am I going to do, work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You could try to find a hobby. I used to doomscroll for hours until I found a hobby I'm interested in.

I wanna say that I like the whole lemmy thing because it pretty much identifies problem communities faster than reddit ever could.

[–] LaChaleurDeLaNuit 10 points 1 year ago

That's true but the traffic and user count is incomparable

Only time I go back is when I'm searching for something and cannot find what I'm looking for elsewhere. Despite leaving and deleting my account, I still find myself having to go back due to the inferiority of other resources and it sucks.

Thankfully I have never had to go to their actual website or the old(dot)reddit website either because I can still get access through northboots' libreddit instance.

I genuinely feel better because of it. If I really try I can scroll for hours, but I find that I'm using my phone less because I can get caught up on my feed for the day by scrolling for a few minutes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m having the same experience and I was worried at first that breaking news wouldn’t get to me quickly, but that hasn’t been the case.

Well, hello Mr fancy pants!

You may speak to Mr fancy pants now!

We kept the reposts of less than a week old posts though

I went back yesterday to check out the NFL power rankings. They never did a week 0, and they've yet to fill probably a third of their rankers. I'm just going to use the ESPN power rankings from now on.

Only reason i use Reddit now is the panel show subreddit, I check in about once a week to see task master news.

Hopefully the British tv Lemmy's will pick up here.

I've just returned to reddit so I no longer feel superior, but at least I have something to read. Also I dislike this meme because it shows that Lemmy is only for people that hate reddit and noone else. Just look at upvotes for memes and articles that bashes reddit. C'mon dudes, we're better than that.

I hate to admit it, but the only thing I've been to reddit for is loading the dadjokes subreddit daily, because there's not enough engagement on the lemmy one to get a good joke for my daily standup meeting.

Other than that, been off it from browsing entirely

cues harpsichord music and snooty laughter

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Everytime I think about Lemmy and how it will just become Reddit: bland, informative, but otherwise familiar and nothing new... I find more drama, more discussion that fuels change and activism and correcting of mistakes. We really are trying.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

To be fair it's only because all my apps are broken

[–] Jackcooper 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've used reddit only when Google landed me there basically. I read my inbox (if you Google Highlander sucks or something like that you'll find my 5 year old thread) but I'm not participating.

I'll have you know I have 50,000 Lemmy karma already.

[–] LaChaleurDeLaNuit 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too!! Well that and I've been banned as well

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Left 145k behind I don't regret a thing. My last 20 comments where FCK SPZ but I didn't get banned.
