I think you’re going to find a little bit of a sampling bias asking that question here.

Wasting my life on Lemmy instead.

Trying to figure out Lemmy. It’s not easy…

Also, replying to users who keep requesting access to our blacked out sub.

I feel like Reddit is a big basket of candy and goodies and I’m just sitting here staring at it telling myself not to touch. I’ve spent the time away by listening to podcasts and spending more time outside gardening and reading actual books and not a screen. It’s really rewarding and freeing, but I miss interacting with a community so I’m glad to have been directed to Lemmy.

In the times I’d usually be scrolling reddit, I’ve been opening the rif app, remembering I’m doing that anymore, then opening Lemmy. Each time I get to know Lemmy a bit more, find a new cub to subscribe to, or answer an ask lemmy question.

I don’t want to delete the rif app until it stops working though, at which point I’ll naturally leave reddit, cos I never use it on desktop and I’m not downloading the mess of an official app.

Accidentally opened Apollo a few times just out of muscular memory and habit. Immediately closed each time. I decided to move the app of the way so it won’t happen again, and put the beta for mlem in its place.

Otherwise, I had a full day of work - then went out with the wife for a nice dinner with drinks. We’re gonna watch the Nuggets/Heat game in a bit.

So… pretty much a normal day. But with less Reddit.

Playing disturbing amounts of Factorio. Unfortunately a vast chunk of Factorio knowledge is on Reddit so I keep accidentally navigating there, fortunately the Factorio sub is dark so I can wander off again quickly.

I’m spending it on Lemmy.

I also deleted my rif app so I don’t accidentally open it.

So far I’ve had a pretty darn good experience. It scratches the same itch. But in other ways it’s better than Reddit - there’s no chance of karma whoring here as there’s no real karma system. Upvotes and downvotes are merely tools for boosting visibility and don’t have any additional meaning.

Then again, the jerboa app could use more polish and qol updates and additional features, really the Lemmyverse is still early days, like a new house with no furnishings and no front garden, it’s bare it’s not comfortable yet, but it’s all shiny and unmolested. I’m sure things will get better over time.

I visited Facebook… It wasn’t nice.

Day 4 Reddit-free for me (I deleted all my accounts - one of which was 14+ years old - after the AMA … jfc what a catastrophe!) Exploring the Fediverse when the servers will allow me, made chicken cacciatore for dinner (it was awesome) and now just wandering around lemmy.ml because I can. Life is good…

Honestly, just taking a break from social media all together. Reddit was my main source of “media” for the past 7 years. I joined Lemmy to hopefully be a replacement. But it’s nice to just have a cleansing every once in a while :)

Well, Lemmy, of course! Also, discovering new sites at https://cloudhiker.net/explore, some Plex maintenance and even a little bit of baking!

I still opened RedReader by reflex a couple of times, but I closed immediately. So far, I don’t miss reddit at all. I have been pleasantly surprised by how welcoming this community has been, thank you everyone!

I spent it hunting down a reddit alternative and browsing on lemmy.

I’m not going back. Reddit will go downhill gradually as it tries to squeeze out value at the expense of the community, and that’s not something I’m going to support it any way.

Gardening. The weather is starting to warm up to summer temps so I have been going at it. Honestly, I’m not missing Reddit all that much and I don’t see myself using it much in the future regardless of what they end up doing.

I’m spending the time, accidentally absentmindedly clicking on Apollo, seeing the protest posts and then force closing the app. Haha
