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.

    Wow didn’t know about this… It’ be cool if Lemmy used a reaction-based rather than vote-based system…

      I have to disagree. It has its problems but the upvote and downvote system can be really useful when you’re talking about things that aren’t subjective. For technical and practical matters, it’s a good way to sort the most comprehensive or relevant advice to the top of the discussion. I don’t really want to go back to facebook where I get shown things because people are spamming the angry react.
