Where do you get your video content nowadays? (lemmings.world)

On the old site, there were a number of funny video communities with regular posts, for example /r/Unexpected, /r/PublicFreakout, or /r/WhatCouldGoWrong. While there are plenty of memes on Lemmy, we have relatively little video content. Those of you who used to frequent video subs, what have you replaced them with since coming to Lemmy?

Agreed. I had to unsubscribe from a lot of them when I realized it was becoming my "daily two minutes of hate"

"daily two minutes of hate"

Dang, you're right.

What made Reddit bearable for me was that more than half my subs were cat/cute animal subs. It helped drown out the stuff that made me angry or feel despair.

Wow I never realized that's where we are. Except Orwell underestimated the length.

I agree a lot with what Orwell said in he's book, but actually I think Huxley hit a little closer to home on this point. I'm sure you've seen this before, yeah?
