I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can’t just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.
Does anyone else feel similar?
Agree. I find the slower pace or lack of an algorithm or whatever it is is leading to me opening lemmy, then kbin around once or twice per day (have 2 accounts and slightly different subs between them which is frustrating in itself).
Then I find myself back on reddit for a bit more scrolling, particularly of the communities I haven’t found an alternative for or that are still more active on reddit.
I suspect this will change come July when the Relay app that I use on mobile presumably ceases to function due to the API changes. And my routine will just be kbin/lemmy (hoping for a unified app soon on android). But I’m not sure that’s necessarily a bad thing and might reduce my overall screen time a bit.
Still, I am sad the reddit golden age is effectively over at this point.
Not just relay but all the 3rd party apps. I suspect that most of the people who would’ve made the jump have already done so. There will be more people coming to lemmy though.
Eh - you can join Kbin Magazines with a lemmy account, and Lemmy communities with a Kbin account.
