This is my new home
For real though, since I joined Lemmy (last Friday, 4 days into blackout) I probably spend as much daily time here as I spent there before blackout 😅 but I'm enjoying it !

My addiction is worse now.
-
Excuse me, does anyone know how to delete someone else's post? I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
Just kidding, I love it here.
-
Me: I have to spend less time on social media.
Also me: Federation is right thing. Do not leave! -
Best way to fight an addiction is to get addicted to something else
-
Same here, it took me a while to figure out how Lemmy works, but I think I'm getting it. Honestly I can't believe I haven't found out about this before now. Go fediverse!
-
oh I know... I'm so much more active here. It's just a nicer atmosphere for engagement.
-
The first few days were kind of tough; but once I started finding communities I liked, my feed got pretty nice.
-
I’m on kbin and yeah, this is my new home
-
Got to love the Fediverse, eh!
-
Mhm

Just to avoid scree time had after reddit blackout, I had uninstalled other social media apps as well. But got suck into Lemmy anyway.
-
Indeed! This is where reddit goes to die, to paraphrase a great contemporary philosopher (/s/s/s, über/s, in case it's needed)
-
LoL. I wasn't really distracted by random subs on reddit. But on Lemmy. People are into flashlights???!!
-
I know! Thank God I'm not the only one. I've been seeing that community constantly while trying to figure out how to use Lemmy.

Lemmy is the first platform I've come across that I'm actually excited to use in many years. Being federated and not motivated by profits (with all the tracking and selling of personal information that it entails) makes me feel like I'm not the product.
-
I'm still trying to wrap around my mind about how this federated universe works. Like i know that I could access the content of this instance (is this the correct name?) from Mastodon and I did subcribe to a few lemmy instances from there but didn't manage to read any posts. Plus the thing that in Lemmy i use an account from another instance and I can read and post on everything but not by accessing it directly. It's kind of counfusing and I think this will be the greatest break to it's diffusion. Otherwise definitely better than Twitter/Reddit for sure.

This should help

-
We've got to spend the time to help the place grow! (and other excuses)
-
Hey, at least it's not
crackreddit -
I feel seen.
-
It's even worse now tbh lol!
-
I never thought of myself as addicted to social media, but I got more studying done in two days than I have in two months. It made me realize how much SM consumed my time.
-
Trying to fill the void has shown me just how large the void was in the first place.
-
-
This place is already doing what reddit did for me and Jerboa is very close to the 3rd party app I used. Fuck reddit and spez, hello Lemmy!
-
Well said. I used Sync for Reddit and find Jerboa compares well.
-
-
Still need to figure out things (for as much as Jerboa for Lemmy is nice, it can't hold a candle to Sync), but same here.
-
lj just announced he's starting work on sync for lemmy :)

It's nice to see posts made by real people; this way (using Lemmy), you realize just how much bots' crap is Reddit made of.
Agree. The lack of bots, sponsored posts and AutoMod comments are a breath of fresh air
oh man I do not miss scrolling past the thousand word automod essay on every freaking post. I kinda miss sorting by controversial though.
