  • Thing with me is I don’t want the raw stream of dozens of articles each day. I’ve used RSS feeds with Reddit for years now using the Top Week feed for each important subreddit. I haven’t been able to find a way to get that sort of curated information stream anywhere else. Essentially I get around the top 12 articles/pictures/text-posts each day that real people think are actually important for each of my interests. Open to suggestions, though.







  • You got me. I am actually the real account for all of this. I thought I would make a fictional post explaining that all my stories were fictional, but they were all actually real. I hope we can start a blank slate from now on. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to come clean. I am not actually the person with the original account making a fictional account to explain my real stories that turned out to be fictional but are actually real (but in reality aren’t). I am the former /r/jailbait moderator Spez.



  • I do this with Inoreader. I subscribe to the Top Week RSS for each subreddit. It looks like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/top/.rss?t=week

    This cuts down my usage to only the most important/popular topics. It helps me waste less time and gets rid of the addicted feeling where you’re sitting there refreshing the front page seeing the same things you saw five minutes ago repeatedly.

    Because I know there’s only going to be ‘x’ number of posts each day from each subreddit I find myself engaging with them more carefully, more mindfully. And when the feed runs out, I go read a book or do something else. It’s very freeing. I’m setting up Lemmy to be the same.
