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.
Why so many accounts?
because every instance behaves differently and as an explorer, i like testing how things work in other places, and the different “points of view”. It’s like when you’re looking at a great statue (the Fediverse), but you can stand from any angle, below, behind, on top, in front of the face, and sure, you can see a ton of it, but the perspective is different on each instance.
And besides, every instance has different rules and features. If I wanna say controversial things, I pop into the free speech one. If I wanna watch some tiddies, I pop into the nsfw ones. If I just wanna look at memes and see what’s going on, I pop on lemm.ee or kbin. If I just feel like doing some organic interaction, I pop onto sh.itjust.works and send a few comments & messages and have a good time.
