Ever since I quit reddit I have become irrestable to the opposite sex. I've gotten so many bitches.
Congratulations!
I didn't, but my mind likes me now.
The same sex too uwu
Besides the amount of content (and the occasional server issues) on Lemmy I haven't missed anything about Reddit after switching.
that content keeps me coming back as an unregistered lurker and for much longer than all of the fediverse instances combined.
Quality time.
Yeah, the only thing this needs is more people and more content
For me, the only feeling better than dumping Reddit a month or so ago has been when I ditched Facebook years ago.
leaving facebook was easier
Well with Facebook for me it was more like a slow decline until I only used it for things I "have" to use it for. Whereas Reddit was a brutal, one day to the next cold turkey kind of thing.
The only thing I miss about FB was the Birthday reminders.
Ever since I stopped using Reddit, my wife has been spending more time with me than her boyfriend
casual /r/polyamory talk.
Are you on linux yet?
Arch and vegan btw, get on my level.

... and a communist ?
Have you switched to Firefox for privacy? Sold your gas guzzler and started biking so you aren't climate changing? Canceled Netflix, Facebook, Google, and Xed Twitter so you aren't ripped off? Installed bidets so you aren't killing trees to wipe your shit?
I'm unimpressed.
reddit was the only thing keeping OP anchored in the fashion trends of this millennium
OP has ascended
Like Fry after eating that egg sandwich.
I am glad people are ditching reddit too but we don't need to jerk ourselves off about it
Bro don't ruin the vibe, I'll go soft
okay that is actually pretty funny
Speak for yourself. If you don't want in on the circle jerk you can leave
Stop ruining the vibe of our jerk
One real effect of leaving Reddit is I spend so much less time on my phone. I love that. Part of it is because my favorite communities haven't come over to Lemmy, which I don't love.
Reading Lemmy is like a newspaper. After 20-30 min you are kind of finished with the days posts.
I went back to comment on a few posts a week ago before remembering how hostile a lot of the community and moderators are

Lol I still check it on PC sometimes but Lemmy has completely replaced it on mobile for me.
Same. I still have pangs of grief over doomscrolling reddit (via Boost, RIP) and getting lost in nonsense like best of redditor updates.
That said, I spend WAY less time on my phone now, which is definitely a healthy thing
It feels good. The atmosphere is so much better here, even if the content is slower.
I wasn't a poster on reddit, but I'm motivated to contribute to the posts here, especially to niche communities I enjoy when I find them.
Pale?
I left Reddit, the second I learned what was happening. Haven't looked back
Landed gentry rejoice
My pleasure.
Image Transcription:
A scene from The Twilight Saga: New Moon showing three vampires, Caius, Aro, and Marcus, in gold-brown Rococo era garb looking judgmentally down their noses at the viewer. Above the image is the caption: What I look like, because I haven't been browsing Reddit for over a month.

What the hell, this pic is from twilight? Cant speak for the rest of the movies but this pic goes hard. Might singlehandedly convince me to watch the movies, just to see the context of this image, if not for anything else.
Haven't logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit's comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that's new or it's something I just noticed but that's such an asshole design.
I feel happy to switch to lemmy over reddit.
2 months, peasant
Does it count if I only dipped in because the answer to a question i needed was only on reddit? I was there for like 2 seconds.
I hood my breath when I go back, If I don't breath in it doesn't count
Flamboyant glitter skinned vampire?
