and using lemmy feels like starting a car in the 1910s by hand cranking the engine. ie i like it but it’s a pain

i got into twitter more, but i’m trying to not engage with the stupid shit that i know is just written to drive me insane

i also, a few times, reflected off the boredom and done something productive; made spreadsheets or installed a video game [i am physically unable to get into gaming for some reason]

    The slowness is healthier, in a way. I’m reading a lot more articles than I did on Reddit, and I’m no longer a lurker.

    With apps like Voyager and Memmy I’m cautiously optimistic, a few hiccups with instances going down notwithstanding.

      There’s bound to be hiccups with the instance system, but I like that Lemmy has given me the power to host my own. It was honestly really satisfying to get it working and deployed on production hardware, and I wouldn’t have gotten that experience if I had just stuck to Reddit.
