I think you're going to find a little bit of a sampling bias asking that question here.

I feel like Reddit is a big basket of candy and goodies and I'm just sitting here staring at it telling myself not to touch. I've spent the time away by listening to podcasts and spending more time outside gardening and reading actual books and not a screen. It's really rewarding and freeing, but I miss interacting with a community so I'm glad to have been directed to Lemmy.

Wasting my life on Lemmy instead.

Yeah I thought about trying to better myself like learn to bake a soufflé, read a book, workout but then I just go to Lemmy

[-] calculuschild@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

Trying to figure out Lemmy. It's not easy...

Also, replying to users who keep requesting access to our blacked out sub.

Accidentally opened Apollo a few times just out of muscular memory and habit. Immediately closed each time. I decided to move the app of the way so it won’t happen again, and put the beta for mlem in its place.

Otherwise, I had a full day of work - then went out with the wife for a nice dinner with drinks. We’re gonna watch the Nuggets/Heat game in a bit.

So… pretty much a normal day. But with less Reddit.

Mostly Lemmy, Mastodon, ~~actually touching grass after years,~~ and for my less proud time-waster, Discord and Youtube.

I’m spending the time, accidentally absentmindedly clicking on Apollo, seeing the protest posts and then force closing the app. Haha

[-] prosopopeia@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Well, Lemmy, of course! Also, discovering new sites at https://cloudhiker.net/explore, some Plex maintenance and even a little bit of baking!

I still opened RedReader by reflex a couple of times, but I closed immediately. So far, I don't miss reddit at all. I have been pleasantly surprised by how welcoming this community has been, thank you everyone!

I spent it hunting down a reddit alternative and browsing on lemmy.

I'm not going back. Reddit will go downhill gradually as it tries to squeeze out value at the expense of the community, and that's not something I'm going to support it any way.

Playing disturbing amounts of Factorio. Unfortunately a vast chunk of Factorio knowledge is on Reddit so I keep accidentally navigating there, fortunately the Factorio sub is dark so I can wander off again quickly.

Not a man. Love your username though, as luck would have it my most recent endeavor was getting iron plates onto my new train network. Finally migrating from bootstrap to real base

[-] MoreIronOre@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone can be my man, regardless of gender.

[-] autistic_shoelace@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I visited Facebook.. It wasn't nice.

[-] jeroner@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Well, looking if this lemmy thing is a good replacement ;) So far seems this is the way to go!

[-] petriborg@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Especially with Jerboa already in place, its IMO a good switch.

The one thing that worries me is all that useful info trapped on Reddit, if Lemmy data expires then that has a long term cost/loss which is sad.

[-] JayWalker@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Gardening. The weather is starting to warm up to summer temps so I have been going at it. Honestly, I'm not missing Reddit all that much and I don't see myself using it much in the future regardless of what they end up doing.

[-] Fluffysquash@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It’s been raining in my historically rarely rainy city for the past two weeks and all I want to do is garden. My poor basil is just yellowing from how much water it has gotten and how little sun.

Definitely agree on not going back, I think I’m only missing 1 or 2 niche communities that haven’t migrated yet but I’m still hopeful

[-] kalipike@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

I've worked the whole time. Just avoided checking r/sysadmin and have been checking !sysadmin@lemmy.ml instead (or however you link/tag a community).

On mobile I've habitually reached to tap the Sync Pro icon for Reddit several times, hesitated, and tapped Jerboa for Lemmy or mt kbin icon instead.

Also took our pup to the vet for some of his shots and played with him.

Yes! Little Pembroke Welsh Corgi x Chihuahua mix. He's a cute little bugger!

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I’m currently banned anyways. And I don’t really miss it, to be honest.

[-] gylotip@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

What caused you to be banned?

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I made a comment in a not serious subreddit about how I’d deal with certain people not respecting some specific rules local to my hometown. The comment was clearly camped-up and exaggerated for the comedic effect and fitted perfectly into the comments thread of that post.

[-] gylotip@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

This got your whole account suspended?

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Yep. Got suspended for a week.

[-] gylotip@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

And I thought mods were power tripping.
