Have you ever quit Lemmy for more than a few days?
Have you ever quit Lemmy for more than a few days?
Have you ever left the Lemmyverse (or I guess r*****) for more than a few days and if so, why did you quit, how did it go and what brought you back?
If you mean quit as in actively deciding “I quit”, no. I definitely go days without checking in though. Usually because life gets in the way. And I’ve definitely been less active since the US election.
Honestly I prefer it to Reddit because it's smaller and more civil.
But I won't lie, I've quit Lemmy for a few days when there's a huge news story.
I'll go over there because there's more engagement and updates seem to happen more frequently.
But in general I prefer it here, and I'm happy most of the people stay over there, I don't want most of them here anyway.like many recently, we were forced out of reddit by the massive perma-ban waves, and shadowbans recently. yea i go back to check on on reddit,even if i cant comment on it anymore, without ban evading. i dont stay long on reddit, but sometimes i check out the LAMF pages, or animal subs.
Yes. Because my instance was down for a few days while it was updating and it broke. I came back even it was back up.
I left for a while after originally creating my account, but that’s mostly because I was missing reddit and the plethora of posts to read through. But I realize the more people exclusively use Lemmy, the more others will consider switching over.
I like Lemmy but it's honestly boring and I find myself just not using any media sites anymore. Lemmy is awesome for what it is, but I can only take so much Linux and leftist politics masturbation. I'm rarely on here more than ten minutes at a time
It's honestly probably for the best. Our devices should be tools for entertainment or helping with information. Not something that consumes our whole day.
It has gotten a lot better over the past 18 months. I had to block a fair number of communities in which I have little interest but it used to be all porn. At least now it’s all musk/trump spam and then some interesting content that isn’t all porn!
you're probably unkownignly entering the HEXBEAR, AND ML instances post, ive seen a ton of those popup lately, i avoid those communities.
I block Linux and news on my main accounts.
Also, have a look at !communitypromo@lemmy.ca pinned post
Vaycay, baybay
I quite for over a year after the Reddit API thing because it was boring. I came back for selfhosting.
No 🤷
I had a "vacation" just now got back from a week long mental hospital stay. Glad to say I am better and glad to be back on Lemmy. What brought me back? I missed it the whole time. Told everyone about the Fediverse too. You could say it was an........ obsession.
I have gone without internet intentionally before if that counts, like if we are going away on holiday I may choose not to take any internet capable devices.
Yeah, I have. Back then I was active in a lot of political and semi-political communities, at first it was pretty decent and people were polite, debates with actual facts and links to trustable sources.
After a while though, people become more hostile, insulting and debated with emotions and zero facts. I just grew tired of it and wasn’t really active in any other community. So I left for 4-6 months.
Then one day got bored, decided to return to Lemmy but unsubscribed from every political community and I straight up blocked anyone who’s being a douche. I now stick a few communities (Piracy, gaming and books).
Thank you. This is where I need to be. Glad to hear this can work.
