I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    Right now only because I’m trying to get a community off the ground and running so I can enjoy the same content I did before but it’s a slow process. I’ve got followers but no posts really. There’s another community I’d like to make but I can’t handle trying to build up two communities so I’ll just have to wait for someone else to get the idea.

    But so far Lemmy, because it’s not so widely traveled feels newer and nicer than Reddit. I had been taking pretty long breaks from reddit, not really feeling I was missing anything. I imagine I’ll get to the same point here but one thing Lemmy has in it’s favor is the ability to block communities so they don’t come up on my feed. That’s what sucked about Reddit for me, something would always come across my feed to depress me. So I’m blocking a lot of communities so this place stays a nice place to visit for me.

      Maybe that was a reddit app/web thing?

      on mobile (sync) I only saw (exactly) what I wanted to see on my home page (not r/all)
