As a photographer i love it

Seriously important to make your subscriptions very carefully in apps like lemmey, reddit (if you have access to a third party app) and newpipe (youtube where you can set your startup tab).

It makes all the difference in the world never to land on /r/all, suggested for you or any sort of trending pages.

Read books like the others have said and only subscribe to channels and communities that forward your productive aims.

This was what people said about channel hopping back in the day.

This time the content is just made for people to channel hop at a faster rate.

Holding on to feelings of anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick.

Meditation and forgiveness help a lot.

I can digest any food at all without bloating, gas or suddenly urgent toilet trips.

Feelings of lack of control and direction.

Maybe just readjust your categories to be more general?

Alternatively I found a bank called Monzo that has ynab features built-in. I’m definitely considering not renewing my ynab and switching to that if I can.

I will never get over Brexit. Europe were really looking out for us as consumers. Also supporting so many communities with grants and funding.

I remember for years people would look at the interface of Reddit “old reddit” and just not understand it because of its totally utilitarian design. They couldn’t make out the subreddit names being r/asentencelikethis. It kept the mainstream users (or let’s just say less techsavey) out for a long time.

I think lemmy captures that original feeling of being slightly off-putting unless you’re willing to get your head around it.

I see a lot of potential and huge advantages with the approach of Lemmy. I’m interested enough and it feels fresh enough to keep using and watching it evolve. All it takes is the a decent enough sized community to keep at it.

I think you are right on all your points about what made Reddit great. For as much as there was hive minded tedium, rage baiting and corporate manipulation. There was also a very diverse and intelligent group of people having interesting discussions and supporting each other on everything. Anonymity and a well-functioning comment system is all we really needed to get together and discuss globally. I feel I have extracted huge benefit from Reddit over the years. I would feel a loss if I couldn’t turn to an intelligent and diverse community like that.
