I’m curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I’ve deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!

    Nope.

    Tried the big two didn’t get anything out of it.

    Dropped Reddit during the big storm.

    I’m fine with things as they are now.

    The lower amount of content on Lemmy is balanced by the increased quality and the fact I can’t spend all day on here

      Same here. Had it all back in the day but gradually ended up winding everything else but Lemmy down. These days I stick to RSS and Lemmy. Good balance of quality content and entertainment.

      This is easily one of the greatest aspects of the fediverse for me so far; Reddit seemed great at first, when all of its content and communities were new to me, and as it gradually got more familiar and filtered and fine-tuned through my own activity, I noticed that I’d been just scrolling the thing mindlessly, aimlessly, hoping to experience something good, have a nice laugh, a nice read, just anything - ultimately wasting dozens of minutes, sometimes hours, with nothing but a sad sigh as a result.

      Browsing Lemmy is a genuinely fun activity for a relatively short amount of time a couple of times a day max, always having a good time thanks to its quality and always having nice conversations because it’s the culture so far, and never scrolling through endless equally poorly-thought-out posts or comments because even if there are any, they’re few and far between.

      I think I say the same things whenever I get to praise the fediverse in general and Lemmy in particular, but I just can’t help myself.
