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.
I unsubbed from most of the default reddit subs and from the subs where the mods didn’t seem to care about the protest.
For the future, I intend to limit my engagement to a few subreddits related to the war in Ukraine, because that’s something I follow closely and care about a lot. The communities on lemmy/kbin just aren’t active enough yet to stay up to date.
!ukraine[email protected] seems to be picking up steam. Personally, I try posting more on Lemmy to help the communities grow.
Yes, I’m subscribed to that community. I hope it will take off, and become one of my main news sources, but for now it’s not there yet.
