I find myself reading my Kindle more. Although I do miss out on finding out news that's currently happening, e.g I didn't realize Twitter rebranded to X and I don't really go on Twitter as much was something pretty surprising.

I also found Lemmy to be much slower in terms of posts and engagement so it's hard to find meaningful discussions or funny comments that I usually like to find on posts about what's currently new.

I've never posted on Reddit at all and was a lurker for almost 10 years so I feel like writing and commenting on Lemmy to contribute. Although a part of me refuses to bring back the golden years of Reddit in Lemmy. Maybe the death of Reddit third party apps was just what I needed to enjoy the current moment and try other new hobbies.
