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.
I’ve been reading the news through some RSS feeds I have setup. Other than that I’ve been looking for a decent offline game to play. I have a few that I’ve player in the past but none of them are particularly great for those awkward periods of time at home when I have 15 to 30 minutes to spare.
