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)
Yeah, I think there’s great benefit in our mental too from that standpoint. Like you have more active to interact digitally and have more diverse idea to talk rather than passive scrolling the content without any engagement or just leave short comment. At least for me, Lemmy push me more less seeing the contents and focus what people’s mind in the comments section and trying to make meaningful discussion from that…
And increase your memorable moment in digital world I think? the cons of infinite scrolling imo is you can’t find anything to remember for mid to long time. Which means what we do are tend to meanlngless activity, Unless we create that mark on the internet (comment like this) so your brain not just only received many types of informations (till ur brain overload with it), but creating a dynamic to think in your mind. But yeah, that’s what I feel now for sure…
