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.

    Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout… Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.

    I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest… but Ive gotta stand on this one.

    I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.
