It sucks to get to the end of social media. On Reddit I could always find plenty of posts with hundreds of comments and many were worth reading or replying to. Lemmy absolutely has good content and good comments, but you can get to the end where there’s no more. It probably doesn’t help that I’ve been much quicker to block people over the cut of their jib. I don’t come here to argue or hate people more than I already do, so I spend a lot less time and words embroiled in pointless conflict.
But I still haven’t been back to Reddit and won’t. When I get to the end of content I find myself going to TikTok or Instagram - two things that I’ve never liked but at least it’s a stress free way to kill time, just louder.
I feel the same way. On Reddit, they used to joke that the best material was in the comments.
I’ve been using Sync and Thunder . There are lots of posts but often no comments at all.
Sometimes it feels like a big cave of silence.
Lurker’s lurker’s everywhere, not a post a read.
It actually has been motivating me to comment a lot more than I did on Reddit. I feel like I actually have something to contribute. On Reddit, I would lurk more because my thoughts usually have already been expressed by someone else.
I kind of lurked a lot on Reddit, largely because I was afraid of getting attacked.
Lemmy seems nicer at this point, but God knows what we are in for.

I’m kind of confused about bots. I mean some self identity. But others…
It’s kind of creepy

It will be interesting to see what this place looks like in a year
Be well.
That’s what Reddit was like 12 years ago when I joined. Frankly, I’ll take the higher quality community here on Lemmy over the endless scrolling potential and lowest common denominator discussions on modern Reddit.
It’s not healthy to look at social Media that much, anyway.
Yeah after 12 years on reddit, I feel this. But on the other hand, I’ve found myself enjoying the extra time I would have been scrolling on the phone and reading a lot more books
Something you should consider is that you’re in danger of making your own little personal echo chamber.
Also, +1 for using the term “the cut of their jib”.
That’s definitely possible, but mostly I’ve been blocking over unnecessarily hostile responses either to me or to someone else, not ideology, so hopefully I won’t get too far up my own ass.
