MODERATORS
to be honest, I like lemmy. It's a lot calmer.
While its does feel like reddit 10 years ago, the appeal to me became that reddit always had soemthign new no matter the hour of day. Hope Lemmy can get there.
Jerboa has been good so far. Somehow the discussions on lemmy feels more engaging than on reddit. Might be because there are no bots regurgiating comments. But the lack of my favourite subreddits have helped my phone addiction 😂 Hopefully this will be rectified soon 😉
I just wish it was easier to explore other lemmy instances or do anything other than view already subscribed sections in jeroba. On android 11 and earlier you can at least go into settings and make it so that when people post links to other areas in lemmy it will open in jeroba but Google took away the ability to manually control which apps open what links in android 12.
Added Mlem to the spot where Apollo once lived. Hope it can live up
Yeah I did the same with Jerboa a few days ago. I keep clicking it, and it's actually building the "good" habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit. There's less content here though, but maybe that's a blessing in disguise. Filling the "mindless scrolling of the internet" time with something useful should be my actual goal. So having less stuff to browse might help with that.
Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip
Try an RSS aggregator app like Feedly and add all your favorite topics/sites. I filled mine up with web comics, car blogs and tech stuff. Also been getting into NPR lately, lots of interesting stuff and less of a focus on politics.
That's what I did at first. But for me the beauty of reddit isn't with the post themselves, it's in the comments.
Interact with that weird green stuff on the ground
there are bugs in it
