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.

    Yeah, same. I’m on VLemmy and just use the web app on my iPhone. Works quite well!

    But yeah no more Reddit and I couldn’t be happier. There’s of course not as much content. But I’m having a great time using Mastodon and Lemmy to fill my content craving. Finding myself checking out the Apple News app more as well.

    I’m content but excited to see the growth of my Fediverse favorites.

    Shoutout to mas.to and my boy @rodti@mas.to 🙌

      I’ve been checking out Apple News more than before too! It’s been nice, quality content.

      I tried Mastodon when Elon started plastering Twitter’s walls with fecal matter (!!), but it didn’t catch my interest much; but it had been years already at that point that I had been gradually disinterested in Twitter, and I think that’s probably why. I didn’t feel there was anything wrong with Mastodon, it just wasn’t my thing.

      But I was addicted to Reddit as heck, and it’s nuts how easy it’s been to move on from it!
