I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy.

I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction.

So thanks Steve!

(If it’s not too much to ask, please take a look at how you could improve instagram, you could save another 15 minute of my day)

    For real. I miss the old Reddit. I recently took a digital walk down memory lane and found my first reddit link from 2007!

    Good times. I miss Aaron Swartz too. Knowledge is power and he sacrificed himself for freeing knowledge.

    Reddit to me is the digital Kowloon Walled City. Crazy place where you can find anything but also needs to be demolished.

        Nah, only Lemmy. I don’t like the Mastodon system where you follow users instead of communities. Like why would I want to follow some random internet strangers I don’t know, instead of an actual community of people with similar interests to have a meaningful discussion with? Any Twitter-like system where you follow users is just not my type of platform to use.

        Much easier to search for “Technology” and have a full community instead of finding a Mastodon User equivalent of LinusTechTips, which is just one person. I’d have to search for every tech person to get all the tech stuff. I prefer just one community for everything.
