Lemmy.

Not enought content here to replace all that time saved IMO. At my worst I was browsing Reddit 6+ hours a day. Here, I can’t even go 2 hours without seeing the same content…

None of this is a criticism against Lemmy btw

I get what you mean. But I just spread my net wider. Give more communities a chance, and unsubscribe from the ones that aren’t what I’m looking for. It’s frustrating, but it will improve. And it’s better than dealing with reddit.

Oh I agree 100% but there are definitely aspects of Reddit that just aren’t replaceable with Lemmy. Lemmy has almost no car communities (besides FuckCars), which is a hobby that takes up a lot of my time. I’ve replaced the time I spent on Reddit car subs with /o/ and other forums.

As for my other interests, though, I think Lemmy is definitely better for my mental health. Nobody needs a constant stream of new memes to access whenever they want. I was developing a serious case of brainrot mindlessly scrolling when I still used Reddit.

For me it’s actually a good thing to not have the almost infinite stream of content that reddit had because it stops me from doomscrolling for hours on end and leads me to actually doing something

I get that way a month ago. And yeah, I quickly run into duplicate content, but over the last couple weeks the duplicate content has been strongly peppered with new content that is highly engaging. With less churn, I find that I spend more time commenting as well.

For me, I struggle to find communities to post some types of content in, and I don’t really want to create a brand new comm just for a single post.

So I end up not posting those things 🫣
