It's nice to see posts made by real people; this way (using Lemmy), you realize just how much bots' crap is Reddit made of.

Excuse me, does anyone know how to delete someone else's post? I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Just kidding, I love it here.

Same here, it took me a while to figure out how Lemmy works, but I think I'm getting it. Honestly I can't believe I haven't found out about this before now. Go fediverse!

The first few days were kind of tough; but once I started finding communities I liked, my feed got pretty nice.

Me: I have to spend less time on social media.
Also me: Federation is right thing. Do not leave!

Best way to fight an addiction is to get addicted to something else

This place is already doing what reddit did for me and Jerboa is very close to the 3rd party app I used. Fuck reddit and spez, hello Lemmy!

oh I know... I'm so much more active here. It's just a nicer atmosphere for engagement.

Indeed! This is where reddit goes to die, to paraphrase a great contemporary philosopher (/s/s/s, über/s, in case it's needed)

It's even worse now tbh lol!

Lemmy is the first platform I've come across that I'm actually excited to use in many years. Being federated and not motivated by profits (with all the tracking and selling of personal information that it entails) makes me feel like I'm not the product.

LoL. I wasn't really distracted by random subs on reddit. But on Lemmy. People are into flashlights???!!

So true! I had high aspirations to cut down on screen time post Reddit, but the fediverse comes along and sucked me right back in!

Just to avoid scree time after reddit blackout, I had uninstalled other social media apps as well. But got suck into Lemmy right after that.

I never thought of myself as addicted to social media, but I got more studying done in two days than I have in two months. It made me realize how much SM consumed my time.

Aw, Lemmy's cute. Way cuter than that try-hard hussy Snoo.

I’m on kbin and yeah, this is my new home

We've got to spend the time to help the place grow! (and other excuses)

I didn't really want to quit yet anyway. I feel this post though.

I'm in this picture and I don't Like it.

Still figuring it out, but have liked what I’ve seen so far. I was wondering what I was going to do without something to scroll, Lemmy wouldn’t let my addiction go to waste!

Still need to figure out things (for as much as Jerboa for Lemmy is nice, it can't hold a candle to Sync), but same here.

Better interaction here and not a bunch of people trying to one up each other in the comment threads. I’ve found my new home 😊

I feel this so much. After day 3 of me joining I am barely able to keep up with everything going on , also life has beinf busy but still i didn't expect to get this buzzing so quickly.

I do not miss the agent-arranged, canned-response, obvious movie/book/TV show AMA's...

Victoria days were the best...

Maybe we can build something similar

Good decision.

I'm still trying to wrap around my mind about how this federated universe works. Like i know that I could access the content of this instance (is this the correct name?) from Mastodon and I did subcribe to a few lemmy instances from there but didn't manage to read any posts. Plus the thing that in Lemmy i use an account from another instance and I can read and post on everything but not by accessing it directly. It's kind of counfusing and I think this will be the greatest break to it's diffusion. Otherwise definitely better than Twitter/Reddit for sure.

I feel seen.

Hey, at least it's not crack reddit

i feel bad about this for some reason

There is no escape. Ever.

Man I feel this. I'm excited though!
